- Published in the leading journal in cement chemistry. Reported for the first time that Graphene Oxide (GO) did not actually disperse in Alite paste (main constituent of cement) thereby invalidating most previously proposed mechanisms of interaction between GO and Alite which failed to realise this was an issue. Provides an in-depth understanding of the actual interaction mechanisms, leading to ways to address the dispersion issue; This paper and two follow-ups (still top journals) also undermined previous claims on the strengthening potential of GO in alite but showed its novel potential as an analytical tool in alite/cement chemistry.
