Scanning electron microscope micrographs of the CSH and Mg/CSH composite specimens after soaking in simulated body fluid for different time. CSH (a), 10% Mg/CSH (b) and 20% Mg/CSH (c) for after 2 days. CSH (d), 10% Mg/CSH (e) and 20% Mg/CSH (f) for after 4 days. CSH (g), 10% Mg/CSH (h) and 20% Mg/CSH (i) for after 7 days. CSH (j), 10% Mg/CSH (k) and 20% Mg/CSH (l) for after 10 days. CSH (m), 10% Mg/CSH (n) and 20% Mg/CSH (o) for after 14 days. CSH (p), 10% Mg/CSH (q) and 20% Mg/CSH (r) for after 21 days.
