Fig. 1: Nucleation dynamics of portlandite and gypsum.

Co-titration data of the nucleation of portlandite (a) and gypsum (b), in absence and presence of different types of additives. The drop in the transmittance (pink) and calcium signal (dark blue) are denoted by the letters a and b, respectively (see also Table 1). The dark blue thin solid curve represents the concentration of added calcium during the experiment. All curves represent the average of three repetitions, except for portlandite + PAA, gypsum + phytic acid and gypsum + PAA, as these experiments showed too much variance between repetitions. To maintain clarity, this figure presents only the Ca-ISE and transmittance data, while the conductivity and pH data are provided in Supplementary Fig. S2. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
