The effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) pendant on the dispersion robustness of polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) toward montmorillonite was studied via cement paste test and concrete experiment. Compared with conventional PCEs only with PEO chains
the negative effect of montmorillonite on the spread flow of cement paste containing PCEs with β-CD as pendants was weakened. When montmorillonite (1.0%
by mass of sand) was present
the dosage increment of PCEs with β-CD pendants to achieve the same spread flow of concrete as that in the absence of montmorillonite was decreased
the compressive strength decrement of concrete containing PCEs with β-CD pendants became reduced. These results demonstrated that PCEs with β-CD as pendants displayed enhanced robustness toward montmorillonite
which was attributed to β-CD pendant groups based on adsorption measurement. Due to the steric hindrance instigated from its rigid structure of hollow truncated cone
β-CD pendants would decrease the adsorption amount of PCEs on clay by hindering the sorption of polycarboxylate polymers on the surfaces of montmorillonite
