While this dissertation answered some questions about high energy mixing, there is still many
more to be answered. Future work that could address some of these questions would be to
investigate the following:
1. RAM mixing is meant to operate at the system’s resonance frequency. Thus, the main
parameters that affect the final mixing outcome are the amplitude of the resonance acoustic
pressure wave, the time of mixing, and the fill level of the vessel. More work will be needed
to quantify the direct relationship of these parameters to the properties of the UHPC mix.
Perhaps some mechanistic link between the UHPC composition and the acceleration
124
2. RAM can be considered qualitatively a high intensive mixer, yet further studies are needed
to fully understand the mixing process of acoustic resonance mixing and its effects on
cement and UHPC properties.
3. Further investigations will need to be conducted to more suitable substances other than
heptane for a graphite emulsion intended for cement.
4. A deeper understanding of inverse gas chromatography and its role in dispersion quality.
5. The mixing demands for different cement-based materials with CNFs and other carbon
inclusions, nanosilica inclusions, and so forth.
