Fluorescence Microscopy of Superplasticizers in Cementitious Systems: Applications and Challenges

Fluorescence Microscopy of Superplasticizers in Cementitious Systems: Applications and Challenges

In addition to the desired plasticizing effect, superplasticizers used in high and ultra-high performance concretes (UHPC) influence the chemical system of the pastes and for example retardation of the cement hydration occurs. Thus, superplasticizers have to be chosen wisely for every material compo...
