This study presents a novel strategy to enhance CO₂ uptake in cement systems by incorporating 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) as a water-soluble additive. Conventional CO₂ curing approaches are constrained by the low solubility of CO₂ in cement pore solutions and the associated reduction in alkalinity, which can hinder cement hydration. To overcome these limitations, HMDA was introduced into...

Also, when a fluid mixture enters the spinodal region (where the second derivative of the free energy is negative), the mixture becomes...
