Abstract

Polycarboxylic acid samples were prepared using methyl allyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (TPEG) and acrylic acid (AA) as raw materials using an redox initiator system (ammonium persulfate sodium hypophosphate). Explored the influence of polycarboxylic acid molecular weight on microstructure and application performance. The experimental results show that as the reaction progresses, the acid ether ratio gradually increases. When the reaction time is 180 min, the carboxyl density is the highest. As the amount of chain transfer increases, the Mark Houwink constant a of polycarboxylate water reducer gradually increases, and its structure gradually shifts from random curling to rigid structure. At the same amount of fixed content, as the molecular weight of polycarboxylic acid decreases, the fluidity of the cement paste gradually increases, and the yield stress gradually decreases. There is a certain difference in adsorption on the surface of cement particles, but the difference is not significant.
