Low-cost synthesis of high-performance polycarboxylic ether
As a new type of high-performance water-reducing agent, polycarboxylate ether (PCE) has excellent properties such as small dosage and high water reduction rate. However, it is still necessary to develop a synthetic process to improve the performance of PCE at a low cost.
Research progress on polycarboxylate based superplasticizers
Polycarboxylate ether/ester (PCE) superplasticizers are widely used due to their molecular structural designability, low dosage and high efficiency. However, their high sensitivity and strong interactions with clays in concrete reduce their dispersion and water-reduction capability, which can affect the performance of concrete seriously.
Synthesis of polycarboxylic ether superplasticizers based on
Generally, polycarboxylic ether superplasticizer (PCEs) have excellent properties of high water reduction and high slump retention capacity, and they are widely used in engineering [1], [2], [3], [4]. In the synthesis of PCEs, the types of macromonomers are extremely important.
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science PAPER
The VPEG type polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE-A) was synthesized by using 4-hydroxybutylvinyl polyoxyethylene ether (VPEG) as macromonomer, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2)reducing agent (sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylateas) as redox system, and thioglycolic acid as the chain transfer agent.
Synthesis and Properties of a Polycarboxylate
Polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) are comb-shaped polymers with an anionic backbone and several nonionic pendant chains, which typically are comprised of polyethylene glycols. In this study, the synthesis of a new type of superplasticizer is presented, which does not exhibit the typical comb-shaped form of PCEs but is built up from a linear polyetheramine and a hyperbranched
- What is a polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizer?
- Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizers have a variety of uses such as improving concrete liquidity and pumping, reducing water-ash ratio, improving crack resistance, improving early intensity and saving cement dosage.
- What are the advantages of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer?
- Low dosage and high water reduction rate. The water reduction rate of polycarboxylate based superplasticizer can be as high as 45%, which can be used to prepare high-strength and high-performance concrete. Small loss when slump is light.
- Can polycarboxylate based superplasticizer improve the crack resistance of concrete?
- The polycarboxylate based superplasticizer can improve the crack resistance of concrete. After adding an appropriate amount of water reducing agent in concrete, the internal structure of the concrete can be improved and the contraction and cracking of concrete can be reduced.
- How to store PCE polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- The PCE polycarboxylate superplasticizer should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and rain. At the same time, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources to prevent fire or explosion accidents. Water seepage problem.
- How can Polycarboxylate ether reduce water and gray ratio?
- Reduce concrete water and gray ratio. Polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer can form a decentralized adsorption film in the concrete, reducing the contact between water and cement particles, thereby reducing the concrete water and gray ratio. By reducing the water and gray ratio, the strength and durability of the concrete can be improved.
- How to determine residual monomers in polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- In the production of polycarboxylate superplasticizer, the amount of residual monomer is an important factor to influence product quality. In order to determine the content of different monomers in superplasticizer, the residual monomers in macromolecular materials can be determined by HPLC.
