A cement composition and set cement including cement and a sliding-ring polymer. A system and method of applying the cement composition.

A composition of matter may include a cement precursor, a phosphazene oligomer and water. A method may include blending a phosphazene oligomer and a cement precursor to form a cement precursor mixture. The method may then include introducing water into the cement precursor mixture to form the cement slurry. A composition of matter may include a cured cement matrix having a polyphosphazene polymer distributed throughout the cement matrix. A method may include cementing a wellbore by introducing a cement slurry into a wellbore, where the cement slurry includes a phosphazene oligomer. The method then includes maintaining the cement slurry such that a cured cement sheath forms, the cement sheath having a polyphosphazene polymer.

A method is shown for forming a high solids reactive lime slurry from quicklime. The timely addition of a carbohydrate and antiscalant polymer to slaking water provides desirable degree of control over the rate of reaction in which the heat of reaction is moderated to ensure the antiscalant polymer remains intact, thereby producing a fine quicklime slurry with low and stable viscosity.

Additives for cementitious compositions are stabilized against particle agglomeration. The additive may be provided in an aqueous liquid admixture composition for cementitious compositions that includes the additive, a polymer thickener, and water, where the particles are stabilized against agglomeration and the admixture is stabilized against physical separation. The method for stabilizing the additive against particle agglomeration utilizes a pH sensitive thickener that may be activated through neutralization of acid groups on the polymer thickener. Methods of making cementitious compositions and hardened cementitious structures using the stabilized additive and admixture are also disclosed.

An additive for cementitious compositions for mitigating alkali-silica reaction (ASR) includes particles of alkali-silica reaction mitigating that are against agglomeration. The additive may be provided in an aqueous liquid admixture composition for cementitious compositions that includes the alkali-silica reaction mitigating additive, a thickening agent and water. The admixture utilizes a pH sensitive thickener in combination with pH adjustment to stabilize the particles of alkali-silica reaction mitigating additive against agglomeration. The admixture composition is used to mitigate the alkali-silica reactions in a cementitious composition. Methods of making the admixture, cementitious compositions and hardened cementitious structures are also disclosed.

An admixture for a hydraulic composition includes a polycondensation product P containing a copolymer prepared by polycondensation of a monomer mixture containing compounds A to C of the following Formulae (A) to (C); and a polycarboxylic acid-based polymer Q including a structural unit having an amino and an imino group, and/or a structural unit having an amino, imino, and amido group: ##STR00001## (wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, alkyl, or alkenyl group; A.sub.1O is a C.sub.2-4 alkylene oxide group; p is a number of 1 to 300; and X is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, or acyl group; R.sub.2 is an alkyl or alkenyl group; A.sub.2O is a C.sub.2-4 alkylene oxide group; q is a number of 1 to 300; and Y.sub.1 is a phosphate ester group; and R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, carboxy, alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, or heterocyclic group; and r is a number of 1 to 100).

A cement composition comprising a hydraulic cement, water and a suspension agent comprising a polymer formed via emulsion polymerization, wherein the polymer has a weight average molecular weight of at least 600,000. The cement composition may be introduced into a wellbore to cement a casing in place within the wellbore. The cement composition is able to maintain consistency and thickness even at high temperatures above 350° F.

A dry construction composition is easily wet-sprayable by means of a screw pump, thus forming, after hardening, a durably mechanically resistant insulating material (λ<0.1 W.Math.m−1.Math.K−1). The composition contains: —A— at least one binder, itself including: —A1— at least one main binder containing lime and/or at least one alumina source and/or at least one calcium sulfate source, preferably at least one alumina source, —A2— at least one water-retaining agent, and —A3— preferably at least one surfactant; and —B— at least one biosourced filler, preferably of plant origin. The ratio B/A (liters/kg) is between 2 and 9. The composition is intended to be mixed with water in a water/binder ratio —A— of no lower than 0.8. Also disclosed is a wet composition, the preparation thereof, to the binder —A— taken in isolation, and to a method of spraying the composition onto a horizontal or vertical substrate or by molding.
