Effect of alkalinity and calcium concentration of pore solution on the swelling and ionic exchange of superabsorbent polymers in cement paste (2018, background): “These include its use as an internal curing agent to reduce self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage in low water/cement mixtures [3-5], rheology control, frost protection [6, 7] and crack sealing/healing [8-15].”
