✦ Synopsis

The preparation of samples for electron microscope studies of Portland cement paste at very early ages requires special techniques for forming soft paste samples, halting hydration without altering the structure of the paste and coating fracture surfaces with a conductive material.

Freeze-drying the paste and sputter coating the fracture surface with gold has produced satisfactory results.

The photoacoustic signal strength was measured on a series of similar portland cement pastes dried to different water contents. Under appropriate conditions this signal is a function of only the paste's specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Because of this, inferences can be made about th
