MISCELLANEOUS ADMIXTURES
In addition to admixtures already described, many others are used
to produce special modification of concrete and mortar. Thermal Analysis
Techniques have not been applied significantly to examine the role of these
admixtures in concrete, although they have potential. A thorough treatment
of these admixtures is presented in Ref. 89. A brief description of some of
these admixtures follows.
