Chemical admixtures are indispensable functional ingredients in modern construction, and
their raw materials for synthesis are mainly sourced from petrochemical products, leading to …

Polycarboxylate ether/ester (PCE) superplasticizers are widely used due to their molecular
structural designability, low dosage and high efficiency. However, their high sensitivity and …

In this paper, star-like polycarboxylate superplasticizer (SPCE) and comb-like
polycarboxylate superplasticizer (CPCE) were prepared via atom transfer radical …

In this study, the influence of various types superplasticizers namely; sikament-TG (TG),
phenol-formaldehyde-sulfonilate (SI) and low phenol phenol-formaldehyde-sulfonilate (SII) …

Cement and concrete are the most widely used building materials and contain comb
copolymers such as polycarboxylate ethers (PCEs) as hydration and setting modifiers. The …

It is well known that polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PC) has a poor clay tolerance, due to
huge adsorption amount caused by clay minerals, especially by montmorillonite (Mt). The …

In this study, the effect of maltodextrin on the hydration kinetics of ordinary Portland cement
was investigated. Additionally, the impact of maltodextrin on the physical and mechanical …

In this work the effect of the prepared melamine formaldehyde sulfanilate (MFS) and
cyclohexanone formaldehyde sulfonate (CFS) on the physico-chemical properties of oil well …

Certain clays attached around the aggregates contaminate the concrete and also greatly
affect the concrete workability, the mechanism of which was investigated through calculating …

Certain types of the new generation superplasticizers (SP) cause the rise of excessive air
content in self-compacting concrete (SCC). The influence of different type of SP on air …
