What is Hydrogel-Nanoclay Mortars for Shrinkage Control about?
This study investigates the performance of cementitious mortars incorporating hydrogel-nanoclay hybrid nanocomposites to mitigate issues related to drying shrinkage and cracking. The results indicate that adding 20% Cloisite-Na+ nanoclay significantly reduces water absorption and shrinkage in mortars, aligning with sustainable construction practices. The findings highlight the potential of hydrogels as effective internal curing agents to enhance the durability and performance of cement-based materials.
