Preparation and Characterization of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer Synthesized at Non-Aqueous Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) was synthesized in non-aqueous system to achieve the rapid transportation and convenient preparation. The results showed that, PCE using isopentenyl polyethylene glycol (TPEG) or isobutenyl polyethylene glycol (IPEG) as macromonomer exhibited excellent paste fluidities and retaining properties at 80°C and 75°C, respectively. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurement confirmed the polymerization between monomers. The synthesized PCE as solid state was dissolved into water to prepare the PCE solution, and its cement application performances were studied systematically. The results showed that PCEs with good paste fluidity retentions exhibited the longest final setting time and the shortest setting time interval. The hydration heat results showed that PCEs with good fluidity properties can significantly delay the hydration process and lower the hydration heat.
