Abstract
In this study the influence of cellulose derivatives modifiers: 2-hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) on the gypsum setting process and their respective changes in water arrangement were analysed. IR spectroscopy revealed the differences in the water structure between the surface and the fracture of gypsum samples. In comparison to pure gypsum, the setting process is slower in the presence of cellulose derivatives as the hydrophilic polymer partially traps the water molecules. Through the comparison of IR, SEM, DSC and micro-mechanical measurements supramolecular model of gypsum structure containing cellulose derivatives which stabilized water clusters was proposed.
