Scientific interest on superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) in conjunction with cement-based
building materials has widened from mostly engineering aspects towards polymer physico …

Abstract When producing Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), particles smaller than 150
μm called Recycled Concrete Powder (RCP) are obtained. Various studies have shown a …

Autoclaved aerated concrete waste (AACW) is a common low-strength cement-based
construction and demolition waste, which is currently disposed by landfills and hard to be …

Industrial wastes consumed by the preparation of building materials is a potential method to
ensure the sustainable development. In this study, lithium slag (LS), as the by-product of …

Alkali-activated slag with lower carbon emission exhibits a great potential as an alternative
for Portland cement. The activity of slag and the base used decide the basic performances of …

To study the application of superabsorbent resin (SAR) in preventing water evaporation in
soil, hydroxymethyl cellulose sodium-g-poly (acrylic acid-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1 …

Great autogenous shrinkage has become a common problem in cement-based materials
with a low water-to-binder ratio (w/b). To limit the autogenous shrinkage in ultra-high …

The existing commercial superabsorbent polymer (SAP) products have the intrinsic defects
of low internal curing efficiency and weakening strength. In this paper, a novel type of …

The introduction of superabsorbent polymers into cement increases the number of
macroscopic pores, resulting in reduction of compressive strength. These limitations can be …

The combination of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and expansive agent can effectively
reduce the shrinkage deformation of ultra-high strength cement-based grouting materials …
