In order to comprehensively understand the role of both the alkaline activator and the nucleation centres applications, we decided to combine the capabilities of two scientific workplaces in the project. Synthesis of nucleation centres and their application into hybrid cements will be carried out at FCH BUT. It will be followed by controlled hydration, the study of microstructure formation of hybrid seeded cement pastes and mortars, and the determination of quasi-static mechanical parameters. The task of the second workplace of FCE CTU will be the microstructural study and modelling of the mechanical properties of individual phases of hybrid cement hydration products. The comprehensive outcome of this effective collaboration will be the explanation of the mutual relationships of the spatial distribution of nucleation seeds, the microstructure of the formed hydration products and the micro-/macro-mechanical properties of hydrated hybrid cement.
