Comb‐copolymers with anionic functional groups and poly(ethylene glycol) side chains are concrete dispersants. However, they retard the hydration of the main Portland cement phase Ca3SiO5${\rm Ca}_{3}{\rm S}{\rm iO}_{5}$. Herein, we report on their influence on the dissolution rate of Ca3SiO5${\rm Ca}_{3}{\rm S}{\rm iO}_{5}$ and their nucleation ...

Flow loss in superplasticized limestone calcined clay cement
Abstract This study investigates the mechanisms behind fluidity loss in superplasticized limestone calcined clay cement (LC3), a sustainable alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Despite its environmental benefits, in presence of superplasticizers, LC3 experiences significant challenges in maintaining workability, an issue of which this paper ...

Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers Used in Concrete: A review
Modern concrete frequently uses a variety of chemical admixtures, like setting time-retarding admixtures, viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMA), and superplasticizers (SPs). These chemical admixtures greatly impact cement components like film-forming capacity, flowability, and film drying time.
