Interaction between polycarboxylate superplasticizers and non-calcined clays and calcined clays: A review

Research evolution of limestone calcined clay cement (LC3), a promising low-carbon binder – A comprehensive overview

“…Since water is a scant natural resource, the increase in the consumption of mix water should be addressed in order to make the cement more sustainable. Furthermore, since the properties of cement are maximized with a low water/cement ratio, the increase in water demand is an important issue [ 59 ]. The use of superplasticizers in blended cements is a viable solution, but optimization and knowledge of their effect on hydration and final properties are still needed [ 60 ].…”

Production of bio‐based concrete water reducers from renewable resources: a review

“…They possess comb‐like structure consisting of a main backbone and several side chains. Figure 8 illustrates the chemical structure of a typical polycarboxylate (PCE) superplasticizer 77,78 . They produce less retardation and air entrainment and give significant cement dispersing properties 79 .…”

“…Figure 8 illustrates the chemical structure of a typical polycarboxylate (PCE) superplasticizer. 77,78 They produce less retardation and air entrainment and give significant cement dispersing properties. 79 Numerous experimental studies have been reported to synthesize polycarboxylates.…”

Synthesis and property of EPEG‐based polycarboxylate ether superplasticizers via RAFT polymerization

“…[8] PCEs not only overcome some disadvantages of the traditional products but also should be noted as the clean production technology with environmentally friendly advantage. [9][10][11][12] Therefore, PCEs have become the research hotspot and the developing direction of the concrete admixtures with high performance.…”
