Lightweight cement-based composites with high specific strength and low thermal conductivity are highly sought in the energy and construction industries. These characteristics are important in designing cement liners for high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) wells, in addition to those operating in permafrost. Similar attributes are also desirable in designing cementitious composites for energy efficient building envelopes. This work reports the results of an experimental campaign focused on engineering lightweight cementitious composites with hollow glass microspheres. It is demonstrated that the chemical stability of microspheres at HTHP conditions can be directly controlled by modulating the specific surface area and dissolution rate constant ofmore »
