Water retention mechanisms of cellulose ethers in freshly mixed mortars
Cellulose ethers (CE) are commonly used as additives to improve the quality of cement-based materials. As admixtures, they improve the properties of mortars such as... -
Microscopic origins of the rheological consequences of the addition of cellul...
We choose in this work to use rheology to understand the role of cellulose ethers in render mortars and identify their mechanisms of action in a cement paste. We... -
