Abstract

Fracture mechanisms in calcium aluminate macro-defect-free-cement were studied by in situ deformation in the TEM. Fracture occurred predominantly at the cement / polymer interface. The toughening mechanism involved crack bridging at the interphase / polymer interface. XPS studies of the chemistry of the interphase revealed it to be made up of an AlOC complex in addition to the amorphous hydration product phase.
