Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCI LTD | Source: | CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERS, 155, p. 448-455 | Abstract: | Polysaccharides, and especially alginate, can be useful for self-healing of cracks in concrete. Instead of weak electrostatic bonds present within calcium alginate, covalent bonds, by methacrylation of the polysaccharides, will result in mechanically stronger superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). These methacrylated alginate chains as backbone are combined with two acrylic monomers in a varying molar fraction. These SAPs show a moisture uptake capacity up to 110% their own weight at a relative humidity of 95%, with a negligible hysteresis. The swelling capacity increased (up to 246 times its own weight) with a decreasing acrylic acid/2 acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid ratio. The SAPs also showed a thermal stability up to 200 degrees C. Interestingly, the SAP composed of alginate and acrylic acid exerted a very limited decrease in compressive strength (up to 7% with addition of 1 wt% SAP) rendering this material interesting for the envisaged self-healing application. | Notes: | [Mignon, Arn; De Belie, Nele] Univ Ghent, Dept Struct Engn, Magnel Lab Concrete Res, Technol Pk Zwijnaarde 904, B-9052 Ghent, Belgium.
