Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are a new, promising class of chemical admixtures which
offer new possibilities in respect of influencing the properties of cement-based materials in …

In this study, internal curing by superabsorbent polymers (SAP) is utilized to mitigate self-
desiccation and autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes. Absorption and …

This paper discusses the interaction between superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and alkali-
activated slag pastes and the influence of SAP on the properties of the pastes. SAP showed …

Carbonation cured calcium silicate binders can be considered an alternative material to
reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry. Carbonation at elevated …

Utilization of ground glass waste as supplementary cementitious material can be
environmentally and sometimes economically advantageous as it converts large amounts of …

This paper aims to examine the effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) on the hydration,
transport behavior, and microstructure of cement mixtures. The addition of CNC delayed …

Internal curing with superabsorbent polymer (SAP) has potential effect on the early
deformation and hydration of cementitious material. However, there are few studies on the …

Despite prior studies investigating the self-healing of cementitious materials containing
hydrogels, the dependence of self-healing on the properties of hydrogels has not been …

This study investigates the impact of the chemical composition of superabsorbent polymers
(SAPs) on their effectiveness in internal curing within high-performance cementitious …

The effect of in-house synthesized hydrogels with different chemical compositions on the
properties of alkali-activated slag pastes was examined. It was found that the teabag test …
