Abstract

Proposed special requirements exist for the rheological properties and time-varying characteristics of 3D printing cementitious materials (3DPC). In this study, high-dispersion polycarboxylate superplasticizer (HD-PC) and fluidity-retaining polycarboxylate superplasticizer (FR-PC) were used to control the rheological behaviors of 3DPC. The correlation of the time interval, the time varying characteristics of the rheological properties and the interlayer bonding strength were investigated. The results indicated that FR-PC improved the fluidity-retention ability and thixotropy of the fresh pastes. The thixotropic hysteresis loop area and reflocculation rate (Rthix) of FR-PC were 101.9% and 80.4% higher than those of HD-PC, respectively. Furthermore, the FR-PC polymer has a positive effect on the interlayer bonding and may reduce the negative effect caused by extending the time interval. During the time interval of 20 s to 30 min, the interlayer bonding strength with FR-PC decreases by 14.1%, while that with HD-PC decreases by 50.0%.
