Effects of metakaolin on nanomechanical properties of cement paste

Metakaolin (MK) is a pozzolanic material, which is a dehydroxylated form of the clay mineral kaolinite. It is obtained by calcination of kaolinite clay at a temperature between 500 °C and 800 °C. In cement matrix, MK reacts with Ca(OH)2, to produce calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel. MK also contain...
