Notes:
Abstract Metakaolinite was prepared from kaolinite by thermal treatment. Subsequent reaction of the metakaolinite with calcium hydroxide and water resulted in a cementitious material whose reaction kinetics were followed at a molecular level at both ambient and elevated temperatures using trimethylsilylation. Metakaolinite as a mineral admixture to ordinary Portland cement was also investigated.
