Abstract

The article explores the synthesis and properties of retarded cellulose-based polycarboxylic superplasticizers, which are designed to enhance the performance of concrete. The study focuses on the preparation methods, including macromonomer synthesis technology, and the optimization of reaction conditions to achieve the best performance. The advantages of these superplasticizers include low cost, improved mechanical strength, and better fluid retention. The research also addresses the environmental benefits of using cellulose as a renewable resource, making these superplasticizers a sustainable alternative to petrochemical products. The article further delves into the experimental methods used to evaluate the performance of the prepared superplasticizers, including fluidity tests, mechanical strength tests, and advanced characterization techniques like XRD and SEM. The results demonstrate the superior performance of the cellulose-based superplasticizers in terms of both fluidity and mechanical strength, making them a promising solution for the concrete industry.
