The desorption isotherm of the interlayer water was obtained experimentally. The relationship between the interlayer water content and T2 value of the interlayer water defines the surface relaxation time, which provides quantitative data regarding the adsorbed water. According to the fast exchange model, the surface area at the sealed condition was 630 m2/g-calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), and it decreased during drying, which was associated with an increase in chemically bound water. The ratio of the decrease in the interlayer surface area to the increase in chemically bound water was 5400 m^2/g. Based on this value, the total surface area of C-S-H was calculated to 830 to 921 m^2/g-C-S-H.}, title = {Surface area changes in C3S paste during the first drying analyzed by 1H NMR relaxometry}, volume = {156}, year = {2022} }
