Abstract
The study investigated the synergistic effects of combining superplasticizers with biopolymer-derived viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMAs) to enhance the performance of cement-based systems. Superplasticizers, including polycarboxylate ethers (PCE) and polynaphthalene sulfonates (PNS), were combined with VMAs derived from anionic (welan, tragacanth, and almond gums, and giant kelp extract) and non-ionic (guar and locust bean gums) biopolymers. Performance analysis methods included: (1) assessment of elasticity and structural build-up, (2) evaluation of viscosity, yield stress, and stability, and (3) analysis of hydration kinetics and development of compressive strength. Anionic biopolymers, such as welan gum and giant kelp extract, formed strong elastic flocculated networks, while tragacanth and almond gums led to networks with rapid rigidification. These biopolymer-based mixtures exhibited high stability against forced bleeding due to their superior viscoplastic properties. Among non-ionic biopolymers, guar gum systems resulted in higher visco-elastoplastic properties compared to locust bean gum systems. The hydration process and compressive strength development were significantly influenced by the type of VMA and dosage, as well as the type of superplasticizer used.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
