Hello dear researchers!
I found in my results that the increase in the specific surface area of C-S-H (obtained by BET N2 methode) led to an increase in the hydration degree. Any suggestions or articles about this?
Thanks..
As surface area of cement increases, attachment of water with cement is more. Therefore hydration degree of cement increase.
You may refer these articles for specific surface area and degree of hydration of cement.

When the cement hydrates, product like C-S-H, CH, AFt, AFM etc. are produce. The specific surface area of all this product after hydration can give better understanding of degree of hydration. It is obvious that increase in the specific surface area of C-S-H, show increase in the hydration degree.
