Possibilities of Using Plasticizers in Alkali-Activated Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study deals with the preparation process and properties of alkali-activated blast furnace slag with different addition of lignosulphonate plasticizer. The goal of this study is to evaluate the suitability of plasticizer and find the convenient dose of this admixture, which improve the workability and mechanical properties of alkali-activated slag. The stability of plasticizing admixture in alkali environment was studied by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
