Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCI LTD | Source: | CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERS, 168, p. 173-181 | Abstract: | Smart pH-responsive superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) could be useful for self-healing of cracks in mortar. They will swell minimally during the alkaline conditions of mixing, leading to only small macro pores but will swell stronger with a lower pH when water enters the cracks. As such, polysaccharides (alginate, chitosan and agarose) were methacrylated and cross-linked with amine-based monomers (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide) to induce a varying pH-sensitivity. These materials showed a strong cross-linking efficiency and induced moisture uptake capacities up to 122% at 95% relative humidity with a negligible hysteresis. Additionally, interesting pH-responsive swelling capacities were obtained, especially for SAPs based on chitosan and agarose with values up to 110 gwater/gSAP. Most of these materials showed limited hydrolysis in cement filtrate solutions, making them very promising for use in mortar. | Notes: | [Mignon, Arn; Vermeulen, Jolien; De Belie, Nele] Univ Ghent, Dept Struct Engn, Magnel Lab Concrete Res, Technol Pk Zwijnaarde 904, B-9052 Ghent, Belgium.
