Abstract
The utilization of inorganic binders followed the continuous evolutional trend of mankind starting from the transition from nomadic-type societies to sedentism, indicating the crucial role of their cohesive properties in guaranteeing adequate sheltering and structural soundness, to the architectural structures of human populations. Several technological evolutions were introduced in the production processes of binding materials along ages, regarding not only their basic composition, but also their nanostructural characteristics, in order to obtain highly reactive and durable structural materials. This contribution reports a review of the compositional, microtextural, and nanostructural characteristics of the main inorganic binders developed from prehistoric to modern times, linking their nanostructural properties to the obtained final performances. © 2019 CopyrightPubblicazioni consigliate
