A review - Inhancing the Performance of Self-Curing Concrete Using Polyethylene Glycol as an Internal Curing AgentBy Shakti Kumar, Nitin Verma, Dilshad Ali, Anuj Tiwari, Anuraj Singh
Abstract: Abstract—This study examines the use of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG-400) as an internal curing agent in concrete, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional water-curing methods. The research addresses the challenge of water scarcity in the construction industry by introducing a self-curing system capable of retaining internal moisture to support prolonged cement hydration. PEG-400, a water-soluble polymer, was added to concrete mixes at different dosages to assess its influence on hydration, shrinkage …
