ABSTRACT:
A method of monitoring a strengthening process of a chemically active material having a liquid phase and a non-liquid phase, the method comprises: (a) continuously measuring at least one physical parameter characterizing the liquid phase; (b) extracting a time-dependence of the at least one physical parameter, so as to identify functional transitions in the time-dependence; and (c) using the functional transitions to determine a strengthening state of the chemically active material; thereby monitoring the strengthening process of the chemically active material.
