Thermgravimetric analysis (TGA) data of cement pastes containing pristine and silica-coated bismuth oxide and gadolinium oxide particles

Thermogravimetric (TGA) data of cement pastes after 2, 7 and 28 days. Samples designations: Control, BG, BG-A and BG-B are associated with the specimen names in the associated publication. Control - Pristine Portland cement paste BG - Cement paste containing 10 wt% replacement of cement with Bi2O3+Gd2O3 structures BG-A - Cement paste containing 10 wt% replacement of cement with silica-coated Bi2O3+Gd2O3 (synthesis method A) structures BG-B - Cement paste containing 10 wt% replacement of cement with silica-coated Bi2O3+Gd2O3 (synthesis method B) structures Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of cement pastes after 2 d, 7 d and 28 d of curing was performed using TA Instruments 5500 in nitrogen, with a heat rate 10 °C/min, up to 1000 °C. To perform the measurement, the cubic specimens were crushed and immersed in the solvent (isopropanol) to stop the hydration process for 1 h. Afterward, the material was dried using a vacuum dryer (40 °C) and milled to fine powder.
