Abstract
In-situ polymerization modified cement paste shows a great potential in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) due to its enhanced rheological properties. Unlike direct adding conventional polymer, how in-situ polymerization and cement hydration synergistically regulate the rheology of cement paste with different monomer dosages remains unclear. Here, we investigate the rheological properties of in-situ polymerization modified cement paste with different dosages of sodium acrylate (SA) to reveal the roles of cement hydration and polymerization. When the monomer dosage is lower (1 % and 3 %), the polymerization inhibits the cement hydration without providing sufficient contribution to the structural development of cement paste, resulting in the decreased rheological properties, such as static/dynamic yield stress and structural build-up rate. On the contrary, once the monomer dosage reaches a higher level (5 % and 7 %), the resultant polymers can gradually form a network interwinding within the cement particles, thus leading to enhanced rheological properties, regardless of the more severely inhibited cement hydration.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
