Abstract

Small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering experiments were performed in several polymer-containing portland cement pastes with the same w/c ratio. The nature of the results is discussed in terms of the role of the polymer upon the properties of the materials. A comparison with other works seems to indicate that the capillary pores are strongly affected whereas the gel porosity remains unchanged by the polymer solutions.
