Effect of alkalinity and calcium concentration of pore solution on the swelling and ionic exchange of superabsorbent polymers in cement paste (2018, background): “As such, the amount and kinetics of SAP swelling depends on the properties of the polymer such as ionic groups, degree of cross-linking and particle size as well as the properties of the solution such as type of ions present, concentration, ionic strength, pH, pressure and temperature [1, 21-25] .”
A review of characterisation methods for superabsorbent polymer (SAP) samples to be used in cement-based construction materials: report of the RILEM TC 260-RSC (2017, methodology): “From the point of view of a practitioner in the field of construction materials, the speed of absorption of a given SAP primarily depends on the particle grading [40, 44, 59, 67].”
Effect of ionic crosslinking on the swelling and mechanical response of model superabsorbent polymer hydrogels for internally cured concrete (2014, methodology): “The observed increase in swelling rate as particle size decreased is consistent with results from Esteves [16].”
