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, background): “Finally, the sorption kinetics of SAPs in cracked, cement-based, solid bodies have been explained using neutron radiography with the aim of assessing the role of SAPs in the selfsealing and self-healing of concrete [10, 39].”
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].”
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].”
Advances in characterizing and understanding the microstructure of cementitious materials (2019, background): “6(b) shows radiographic images of moisture distribution in pre-cracked mortar specimens in contact with water for 4 h [96].”
Effect of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) on the freeze–thaw resistance of concrete: results of a RILEM interlaboratory study (2016, background): “Notable examples are: inducing an abrupt change in rheological behavior during shotcreting [6], reduction of the thermal expansion coefficient [7], reduction of fire spalling in HPC [8], and the onset of self-sealing [9] and self-healing [10].”
