To solve the problem of high viscosity for fresh concrete especially high-grade concrete, a novel viscosity reducing type of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) was synthesized based on innovative design of molecular structure, and also was characterized to confirm the designed molecular structure. The rheological performances of cement paste and fresh concrete containing synthesized PCE were probed, which were analyzed by means of surface tension, adsorption behavior and zeta potential. The plastic viscosity showed a good correlation with T50 and V-funnel time according to mesomechanics process model. Moreover, the investigation of working mechanism interestingly showed that lowering molecular weight and side chain length and introducing hydrophobic groups can achieve improved dispersion capacity and viscosity-reduction effectiveness. The aim of this study is to provide a promising avenue to synthesize PCE with superior workability and viscosity-reducing performance in fresh concrete. This new type of PCE can be used as a viscosity-reducing agent in concrete engineering. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
