Hydration of Cement. The Chemical reaction that takes place between cement and water is called as hydration of cement. This reacion is exothermic in nature, due to which considerable amount of heat is released during hydration of cement. This is called as 'heat of hydration'. The hydration of cement is not a sudden process.
The influence of chemical nature of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on the microstructure of cement hydration products was investigated.
