An early-strength polycarboxylate superplasticizer with an MOF structure and a preparation method thereof are provided. The preparation method includes the following steps: 1) performing an amidation reaction on amine-containing nanocrystalline MOFs and a halogen acyl halide organic molecule to form the halogen-containing ATRP initiator; 2) performing an ATRP reaction on the obtained ATRP initiator, an unsaturated ester monomer, an unsaturated polyether macromonomer and a transition metal complex to obtain the early-strength polycarboxylate superplasticizer with the MOF structure. The present invention regulates the number and length of branch chains and product performance by controlling the number of amine groups contained in the nanocrystalline MOFs and ATRP, and has the advantages of rapid reaction, high efficiency, non-toxic and non-pollution, and simple operation. The prepared early-strength polycarboxylate superplasticizer with the MOF structure has early-strength performance and stable product performance.

The present invention relates to a new class of chemical admixtures for hydraulic cement compositions and methods of preparing same. The admixtures, which include complexes of metals with one or more hydroxycarboxylic acids and/or derivatives of hydroxycarboxylic acids, improve at least the following properties of cement compositions: hardness, compressive strength, shrinkage, and freeze-thaw resistance. Hydraulic cement compositions that may be improved with the chemical admixtures include pastes, mortars, grouts and concretes, all of which may be made from ordinary Portland cement, blended cements, or non-Portland cements made with Supplementary Cementitious Materials.
