Adsorption Behavior of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer on Cement Particles

Abstract:

In this paper, the adsorption behavior of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PC) on cement was examined. Through adsorption of PC, adsorption area of the molecule was calculated, and it is found that PC molecule would maintain curled shape when it was adsorbed on the surface of cement particles.
