Abstract: With the in-depth development of high-performance concrete superplasticizer become essential components to improve the performance of concrete. Superplasticizer refers to the chemical additive which can enhance the slump highly and maintain it for a long time while it can significantly reduce water consumption of mixing additives. Polyacrylic acid superplasticizer have such advantages as high strength, heat resistance, durability, antiweather ability, and other excellent performance. Because of these good characteristics of polyacrylic acid superplasticizer it becomes a global hotspot of superplasticizer field. Based on polycarboxylate type superplasticizer preparation and test of the product properties, this paper focused mainly on studying the effects of the macromonomer synthesis, superplasticizers synthesis method, MPEG origin, the MPEG molecular weight and molecular weight distribution and other factors on the product performances. By comparing the test results, the performances of polycarboxylic plasticizers and Naphthalene plasticizing agent are discussed. Summary of new superplasticizers with higher performances in the future research, and the direction to the development of them were proposed.
