Study of the Hydration Processes of Modified Binders by Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract

Many Russian and foreign scientists have been studying the processes of hydration of cement binders, but the processes of binders hydration with the use of mineral and organic additives have not been studied enough. The question of the superplasticizers influence on binder compositions consisting of cement and various mineral fillers requires a deep and detailed study in each case. In this regard, the aim of this work is to study the processes of portland cement hydration, modified by organomineral additive. Research was carried out on the study of changes occurring during the structure formation of modified binders by infrared spectroscopy (IR).
