Plasma treatment offers several applications in material science. In this research, the potential of plasma treatment is explored on the hydration of hydrophilic CNT-enriched cement and hydrophilic fly ash. The evolution of the hydration heat and the compressive strength show that a hydrophilic surface slightly accelerates the early-age hydration kinetics, while the long-term properties remain unchanged.
