The aim of the project was the synthesis and production by a domestic cement industry of a special type of cement for drilling applications, the so-called G-type and the subsequent improvement of the elastic properties of cement slurries, as well as the development of cements with self-healing properties. 

In the framework of the project, the NMR group carried out the laboratory characterization of G-type cement and of the cement slurry and the development of cement with elastic and self-healing properties. The laboratory characterization was performed by ultrasonic and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance methods in order to study the microstructure and kinetics of the cement paste.
