Microstructure and mechanical properties of βhemihydrate ...
Jul 01, 2011· The gypsum in Fig. 9a and b was prepared with a w 0 /h 0 of and, respectively. It is clear that the crystals in Fig. 9a are much tighter and homogeneous than that in Fig. 9b. This shows that the gypsum produced with a lower water content has a better bonding between the gypsum crystals which should lead better mechanical properties.
