A study on micro-morphology and impacts of curing temperature on bond strength of interfacial transition zone through scanning electron microscope

Abstract

Abstract The influence of curing temperature on the bond strength of ITZ was studied in this paper. It is found that, Increasing curing temperature can improve the bond strength of ITZ in the early age, but it will significantly decreases the growth trend of the bond strength. The micro-morphology characteristics were examined by the method of scanning electron microscopy, It was found that, the higher the curing temperature is, the more uneven the hydration products distribution of ITZ is, and also the looser the ITZ structure is.
