The effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer on the strength and hydration performance of alkali slag building materials

To explore the effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizers on the strength and hydration performance of alkali slag building materials, this study prepared cross-linked polycarboxylate superplasticizers with different ratios of hydrogen peroxide, methyl allyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, acrylic acid, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, monomer aqueous solution, reducing agent, chain transfer agent, etc. according to certain ratios, and tested their effects on the hydration performance and strength of alkali slag building materials. Through experimental analysis, it was found that the higher the proportion of cross-linked polycarboxylate based high-efficiency water-reducing agents, the lower the initial flowability of building material slurry; The addition of cross-linked polycarboxylate water-reducing agent will prolong the initial and final setting time of alkali slag building materials, delaying the hydration time of building materials; Cross linked polycarboxylate superplasticizers can reduce the electrical conductivity of alkali slag building material slurry, delaying its hydration rate; Different ratios of water-reducing agents have a significant impact on the water reduction rate of alkali slag building materials, with V2 water-reducing agent having the highest water-reduction rate of 28.6%; Cross linked polycarboxylate superplasticizers can increase the flexural and compressive strength of alkali slag building materials. Therefore, cross-linked polycarboxylate water-reducing agents have shown great potential in regulating the properties of alkali slag building materials.
