Introduction to the Chemistry of Inorganic Cements is a comprehensive guide designed to provide a solid foundation in the chemistry of inorganic cements for individuals embarking on research in this field, whether at the doctoral level or in industry. It caters to students with backgrounds in civil engineering, materials science, or chemistry, as well as professionals seeking to enter the domain. The book delves into the intricate details of the manufacture, characterization, hydration processes, hydrates formed, and microstructural development and degradation processes of inorganic cements.

Portland cements, due to their immense significance in civil construction, take center stage in this text. However, the growing importance of supplementary cementing materials, such as slag and fly ash, is also given thorough attention. A dedicated chapter explores calcium aluminate cements and calcium sulfo aluminate cements, highlighting their unique properties and applications.

The book also presents the latest ideas and concepts prevailing in the field, along with the most widely employed characterization methods. By encompassing a wide range of topics, Introduction to the Chemistry of Inorganic Cements equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to advance their understanding of these materials and their applications in the construction industry.
