Technical Paper -
Copolymers with an adsorbing backbone and non-adsorbing side chains can be very effective dispersants, particularly when a high ionic strength strongly penalizes electrostatic stabilization. This article examines the steric hindrance characteristics of such polymers through the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) on calcium silicate hydrate, the main hydration product of Portland cement. It is...
