A new kind of nano-rod shaped polycarboxylic acid slump-retaining agent was synthesized.Transmission electron microscope(TEM) experiment showed that the nano-rod was bound together as macromolecular aggregates in solution.Application performance studying suggested that this kind nano-sized polymer material had excellently plasticity-retaining performance in cement-based materials and could improve endurance performance of hardened cement-based materials distinctly.The concrete with an initial slump of 2-9 cm could achieve 3 h plasticity-retaining performance with the help of this kind nano-rod.The product had extremely wide application value in the market.
