Abstract
Lightweight concrete foam is mainly used as a filling for sandwich panels for insulation of buildings. Surfactants are chemical admixtures that play an important role in stabilising the air pores in fresh concrete foam before stiffening. This study investigates the effects of surfactants on the microstructure and pore characteristics of concrete foam analysed by X-ray microtomography. The formation of larger pores due to poor stability of...
