Polycarboxylic acid-based superplasticizers are being used for various fields of concrete work, however little has reported on changing basic performance by thermal fluctuation. In this study, heating superplasticizers itself is hereinafter as referred to as “thermal stimulation”, the effect of thermal stimulation and heat retention of superplasticizer on the fresh mortar, moreover the influence of molecular structural changed of superplasticizer by thermal stimulation were investigated. As the result, it was confirmed that improving fluidity of the mortar flow on this condition the highly heat temperature and heat over a long time by thermal stimulation of superplasticizer. In addition, it turned out that this phenomenon was caused molecular structural changed by thermal stimulation, and the result was revealed that the effect of thermal stimulation varies according to the type of polymer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
