متن کاملSmart superabsorbent polymers for self-sealing and -healing of mortar
ID No: 54 Abstract: Concrete is an important building material, due to its ease to use and relatively low cost. However, the presence of cracks endangers the durability of concrete and can result in reinforcement corrosion since a pathway for harmful particles dissolved in fluids and gases is generated. Manual repair costs can go up to half of the annual construction budget. Instead, introducin...
متن کاملPhysical Properties of Concrete Modified with Superabsorbent Polymers
This dissertation deals with the effect of a new concrete additive, called salt-insensitive superabsorbent polymer, on the physical properties of normal and high strength concrete. Superabsorbent polymers, short SAP, are special polymers that are able to absorb many times more water than their own weight within short time. They can even store water when exposed to gentle mechanical stress. When...
متن کاملSuperabsorbent Polymers and Superabsorbent Polymer Composites
This article briefly describes the general aspects and cross-linking polymerization of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and superabsorbent polymer composites (SAPCs). Research and development of SAPs has become very active after the Northern Region Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture invented the first SAP, used as a soil conditioner. Based on the advancements in organic/ino...
متن کاملInfluence of Pore Structure on Compressive Strength of Cement Mortar
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the pore structure of cement mortar using mercury porosimeter. Ordinary Portland cement, manufactured sand, and natural sand were used. The porosity of the manufactured sand mortar is higher than that of natural sand at the same mix proportion; on the contrary, the probable pore size and threshold radius of manufactured sand mortar are fin...
