The Effect of Superabsorbent Polymer and Nano-Silica on the Properties of Blended Cement

Incorporating superabsorbent polymer (SAP), which has the abilities of absorption and desorption in cement mortar, can achieve the effect of internal curing. It is expected that the incorporation of nano-silica will improve the workability and strength in cement mortar/concrete. Hence, this study ai...
