Influence of Environmental Factors on the Swelling Capacities of Superabsorbent Polymers Used in Concrete
Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are of major interest as materials to control the cement hydration process. The swelling behavior of the SAPs significantly influences the performance of the resulting concrete by slowly releasing polymer-bound water in order to maintain a consistent <i>w</i>...
