Early-age autogenous and drying shrinkage behavior of cellulose fiber-reinforced cementitious materials (2011, background): “Saturated lightweight aggregates (LWA) and superabsorbent polymers (SAP) have been demonstrated to be effective IC agents [2–5].”
Effect of internal curing on durability-related properties of high performance concrete (2012, background): “Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) [20,21], wooden-derived materials [22], and recycled aggregates [23] were reported as appropriate curing agents for IC of HPC.”
Effect of high amounts of superabsorbent polymers and additional water on the workability, microstructure and strength of mortars with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.50 (2014, methodology): “SAPs can be used in cementitious materials for reducing the autogenous shrinkage [3–6], for changing the rheology of the fresh material [5–7], for increasing the freeze/thaw resistance [8,9], for self-sealing [10–12] and even to promote autogenous healing [13,14].”
Self-healing cementitious materials by the combination of microfibres and superabsorbent polymers (2014, methodology): “Jensen and Hansen (2002) used 0.3–0.6 m% SAP to reduce the shrinkage by internal curing and Brüdern and Mechtherine (2010) used 0.4 m% SAP.”
