Investigation of Cement, Mineral and Chemical Additive Interactions in Micro Scales

Self-compacting concretes (SCC), a new type of concrete, were realized with the development polycarboxylate-based chemical additives. The interaction these additives powder materials in nano and micro scales affects fresh hardened properties concrete meso macro scales. To change improve macro-dimensional it is necessary to better analyze nano-micro-dimensional interaction. aim this study examine interactions cement, mineral scale. For purpose, zeta potential values mixtures consisting water, calcite blast furnace slag prepared by using polycarboxylate based plasticizer additive analyzed. In addition, SEM analyzes samples made on 28th days.
