Abstract:	• The Influence of starch-based superplasticizers on rheological behaviour of OPC. • The Influence of starch-based superplasticizers on early age hydration of OPC. • The Investigations show that thickening admixtures can be produced from starch. • The Investigations show that liquefying admixtures can be produced from starch. • One key parameter is the molecular weight of the starch admixtures. • Another key parameter is the amount of anionic charges incorporated. • The early age hydration was strongly modified by the starch superplasticizers. • The dormant period is strongly prolonged by the starch superplasticizers. This study deals with the influence and effectivity of synthesized starch-based superplasticizers on rheological behaviour of cement pastes and on cement hydration. By varying molecular parameters, like molecular weight and the amount of introduced anionic charges, key parameters which induce thickening or liquefying behaviour in cement pastes were identified. Cement hydration was monitored by isothermal calorimetry, ultrasonic measurements and conductivity experiments. The investigations were supplemented by adsorption measurements by the phenol-sulphuric acid method. Results clearly show that low molecular weights and anionic charges in the molecular structure are necessary to create superplasticizers from starch. Also, the amount of anionic charges implemented in the molecular structure by chemical modification is a key parameter for a high dispersing performance. Furthermore, the starch-based superplasticizers delay the hydration of cement pastes, because of adsorption on cement surface, especially on the first hydration products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
