This book has been prepared with the aim of integrating information about the chemistry and application of concrete superplasticizers in a manner relevant to concrete engineers and technologists. The opening chapter introduces basic aspects of concrete science as background for what follows. Chapters 2-4 discuss the chemical synthesis of superplasticizers, methods used to characterize those chemicals, and techniques for evaluation of their effect in cementitious systems. Subsequent chapters cover: the influence of superplasticizers on hydration of cement materials; rheology of cementitious systems; issues related to the mode of action and compatibility of superplasticizers; the effect of superplasticizers on fresh concrete; mechanical properties and durability of concrete; innovative applications of superplasticizers in concrete; superplasticizer dispensing, specifications, and standards; patents related to superplasticizers; and current and future trends in the use of superplasticizers in concrete.
