High-Performance Concrete Adhesive Powder for Strong Bonding Solutions
Here, an attempt was made to establish the working mechanism of MHEC. For this purpose, its water retention effectiveness in cement paste and its dynamic viscosity in cement pore solution were measured. Furthermore, its potential adsorption on cement was probed via a specifically designed static filtration test. Finally, concentration-dependent hydrodynamic diameters of solved MHEC molecules, and their surface tension in cement pore solution were measured to establish the mechanism underlying the effectiveness of MHEC as water retention agent.
