Abstract:Polycarboxylate-type superplasticizers with different side chains and approximative degree of polymerization are synthesized. The microstructures of Polycarboxylate-type superplasticizers in water are studied by fluorescent probe technique, dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the self-assembly technique. The results indicate that the formation of hydrophobic microenvironment in PC solution is confirmed. The higher the ratio of long side chains of PC, the stronger the hydr… Show more
