Additives for application in construction chemistry are proposed comprising an organic and/or inorganic core component A) with rheology-enhancing properties and a shell component B) applied to the same by virtue of physical and/or chemical interactions which acts as a coating. Component A) should be a of water-soluble and/or water-swellable and/or water-absorbable compound of the non-cellulose type with viscosity-enhancing properties in the final application. The shell component B) should preferably be a film-forming polymer which is able to release component A) during the application in construction chemistry in a retarded manner such as for example polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate and polyethylene glycol. Component B) can be composed of several layers and comprises at least one reactive layer. The new additive is used as an additive with a time-delayed action in paints and also for timed control of the increase in viscosity or development of rheology in building material systems based on inorganic binders. |

The present invention is a method for producing a ceramic porous body with high porosity and continuous macropores, which comprises mixing a ceramic powder with an aqueous solution of a gelable water-soluble polymer to form a slurry, gelling for a while to fix the tissue structure, freezing it to produce ice crystals in the gel tissue and creating structures that become continuous pores, thawing the ice by controlled atmospheric substitution-type drying method with the resulting water being replaced without damaging the gel, and then sintering it to produce a ceramic porous body having various porosities, pore diameters and pore shapes, while conventionally cracks and contraction were likely to occur during drying when the solids concentration of the slurry is less than 20 vol %, with the method of the present invention it is possible to control these problems even at a solids concentration of 10 vol % or less, manufacture and provide a ceramic porous body with a porosity of 72% to 99% and a compression strength of 0.4 MPa or more. |

Water-soluble, biologically degradable copolymers based on polyamide are described which contain at least one grafted side chain composed of aldehydes and sulfur-containing acids and salts thereof and optionally at least one compound from the series ketones, aromatic alcohols, urea (derivatives) and amino-s-triazines. Natural polyamides such as caseins, gelatins, collagens, bone glues, blood albumins and soya proteins as well as degradation products thereof and synthetic polyamides such as polyaspartic acids and copolymers of aspartic and glutamic acid are used as preferred polyamide components. These copolymers are obtained primarily by graft polymerization at temperatures between −10 and 250° C., preferably in the presence of a solvent such as water or by thermal drying and they are used in particular as flow agents or water retention agents for inorganic binders and pigments especially in combination with hydraulic binders they only have a very slight setting-retardant effect. |

A concrete composition having a 28-day design compressive strength of 3000 psi and a slump of about 5 inches is optimized to have high workability and a high strength to cement ratio. The concrete composition contains about 340 pounds per cubic yard hydraulic cement (e.g. Portland cement), about 102 pounds per cubic yard pozzolanic material (e.g., Type C fly ash), about 1757 pounds per cubic yard fine aggregate (e.g., FA-2 sand), about 1452 pounds per cubic yard coarse aggregate (e.g., CA-11 state rock, ¾ inch), and about 294 pounds per cubic yard water (e.g., potable water). Workability and strength to cement ratio were increased compared to one or more preexisting concrete compositions having the same 28-day design compressive strength and similar slump by optimizing the ratio of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate. The concrete composition is further characterized by high cohesiveness, resulting in relatively little or no segregation or bleeding. |
