In this paper, the effect of microwave pretreatment on the electromagnetic properties of cement paste was investigated. Four different durations of microwave pretreatment were carried out after the standard conditioning of cement paste specimens for 3 days. Subsequently, the electromagnetic properties of the cement paste were tested, the electromagnetic losses of the specimens were calculated and the changes in the dielectric constants were analyzed. Finally, the mechanism by which microwave pretreatment affects the electromagnetic properties was analyzed based on the pore characteristics and hydration results. The results show that microwave pretreatment can improve the electromagnetic loss as well as the dielectric constant of cement paste specimens, but has no significant effect on the magnetic permeability. With the increase of microwave pretreatment time, the reflection loss, absorption loss, and total loss of electromagnetic waves increase significantly, and the multiple reflection loss decreases. The real part of the dielectric constant, imaginary part, and loss angle tangent all increased. There are two main reasons for the increase in electromagnetic loss and dielectric properties of the specimens after microwave pretreatment. One is the significant increase in the percentage of micropores less than 50 nm in the specimen, which increases the reflection loss and absorption loss of electromagnetic waves. On the other hand, microwave pretreatment significantly increased the degree of hydration of the specimen, making the specimen intermediate electrical properties of the larger proportion of the material phase (such as gel), which in turn increased the electromagnetic loss.In this paper, the effect of microwave pretreatment on the electromagnetic properties of cement paste was investigated.
