Interest in water-soluble polymers (WSPs) is growing due to their good compatibility and
effectiveness in cement-based materials, as well as the excellent designability of their …

This work investigated the influence of polyacrylamide on carbonation behaviors of cement
pastes by measuring carbonation depth and pH value. Electrochemical impedance …

Polymer-cement composites produced by physical mixing are limited by their relatively low
compressive strengths and weak interfacial bonding between two dissimilar phases. These …

Aiming at the utilization of regional mining wastes including iron tailings sand and coal
gangue (CG), a novel coal gangue-filled backfill (CGFB) is proposed in this paper, which is …

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is one of the commonly used anti-washout admixtures (AWAs) in
cement-based materials. However, PAM chains tend to be contracted under attacks from …

This investigation examined the reinforcing effects and mechanisms of polypropylene fiber
(PF) on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Scanning electron microscope …

Polyacrylamides (PAMs) have been widely used as chemical admixtures to modify the
workability of cement-based materials. However, polymers possess variable molecular …

This paper, based on laboratory programs, evaluated the oxygen permeability over different
stages of aging for three commercial polymer-modified mortars; styrene–butadiene rubber …

In this paper, we study the effects of polyacrylamide (PAM) on both aqueous solutions and
fresh cement pastes. Our solution viscosity and hydrodynamic radii measurements in …

Both polyacrylamide (PAM) and sodium polyacrylate (PANA) are polypropylene based
polymer, however it is still uncertain whether there are some differences between their roles …
