Using an electron microscope one can see the structure of the material once the physic chemical and mineralogical processes have completed. Figure 2.8 shows the structure of basic materials and a typical structure of end products with cement alone (figure 2.9A), and with cement and RoadCem added in (Figure 2.9B). It can be seen that the addition of RoadCem creates a different crystalline structure.
