Role of Polycarboxylate-ether superplasticizers on cement hydration kinetics and microstructural development

Polycarboxylate-ether (PCE) superplasticizers are a fundamental constituent of modern cementbased materials due to their impact on the rheology of the fresh mix and mechanical performance of the hardened material. The effect of PCEs on cement hydration kinetics has been known since their introductio...
