Abstract: This paper compares the influence of microencapsulated silicone resin (microcapsules, M) and an emulsion (E) of silane monomer (n-octyltriethoxysilane and silicone resin) on the properties of CEM I cement paste. The setting and early age hardening of cement paste (water/cement ratio 0.5) was assessed with Minipenetrometre. Cement microstructure and hydration products development was observed by SEM/ESEM. Quantitative analysis of hydration products was assessed by Rietveld analysis of XRD diffractograms. Emulsion induced some delay in the cement paste setting. Moreover, the amount and morphology of ettringite and portlandite was modified by emulsion while the microcapsules didn’t show any significant effect on the same properties.
