Thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel particles improve workability loss and autogenous shrinkage in cement paste
In this work, we show that non-superabsorbent, thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel particles (< 250 μm) can reduce autogenous shrinkage in cement paste and improve early-age stiffening that can be caused by traditional superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). Swelling measurem...
