Abstract:Small molecular monomer and initiator were added to cement mixture, in situ polymerization had occurred under the action of initiator with the cement hydration, and polymer network was produced, and thus the toughness of cement paste was improved. The toughness of in situ toughening mortar had been measured through flexural/compressive ratio, and modification mechanism had been revealed through MIP, SEM and TG-DTG. The results show that, flexural/compressive ratio of in situ toughening mortar has been enhanced… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
