摘要

in their inspiring paper, Sanahuja et al. (CCR (37) 1427-1439) add a new dimension and degree of freedom for implementing the Materials Science Paradigm between microstructure and properties of cement-based materials, which is the particle aspect ratio of C-S-H elementary building block. The question addressed in this discussion is how far this departure from the perfect disordered morphology of C-S-H is truly relevant for cement-based materials.
