Crack Mitigation in Concrete: Superabsorbent Polymers as Key to Success?

Crack Mitigation in Concrete: Superabsorbent Polymers as Key to Success?

Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage, freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found but superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) seem to be interesting to counteract these problems. At an early age, the absorbed water...
