... weights (M_w) were synthesised through aqueous free radical polymerisation. The effect of the molecular weight of slow-release PCEs on the dispersion performance, hydrolysis reaction ratio, adsorption process and hydration of cement was investigated systematically. Due to the hydrolysis...

... be induced by complexation mechanisms. However, the dispersion state of pastes with admixtures may also influence hydration rates. The aim of this paper is to highlight the correlation between mesostructural organisation and chemical reactivity of cement pastes with an additive. The affinity...

... the materials’ performance accurately in the field. In this study, a theoretical transfer function is developed to analyse the dispersing effectiveness of CNTs in order to search for a stronger piezo-resistance effect in smart cementitious materials. The theoretical transfer function model introduces...

...Guobing Xing; Wenping Wang; Guang Fang A study of superplasticisers (SPs), including polyethylene oxide-free type polycarboxylate superplasticisers (PCEs), a conventional PCE and a polycondensate, was carried out to research their cement dispersion behaviour and interactional behaviour with clay...

... the performance of concrete sensors are the amount of CNTs and the quality of their dispersion in the mixture with regard to the combined effects of the surfactant composition and CNTs dispersed with different levels of energy. The goal of this research was to evaluate the effects of the main parameters affecting...
