Abstract

In this paper, a new kind of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is designed and prepared. Using sodium persulfate as initiator and N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide as Crosslinker, monomer of acrylic acid can be grafted into the skeleton of natural mineral kaolin with the method of microwave irradiation. The performance of water adsorption for SAP is tested in saturated Ca(OH)2 solution. Also, the internal curing effect of SAP to hydration procedure of cement paste is studied. The result shows that the compressive properties and flexural strength of cement paste specimens in early stage have significant improvement in contrast to those without superabsorbent polymer or excessive or a small amount of superabsorbent polymer, when superabsorbent polymer is accounted for 0.3% to 0.5% of the total cement. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
