The influence of pluronic P123 micelles on corrosion behaviour of steel in cement extract and bulk matrix properties of cement paste

The influence of Pluronic P123 (PEO20-PPO20-PEO70) micelles (of 10 nm size) on the corrosion behaviour of low carbon steel in cement extract (CE) was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentio-dynamic polarisation (PDP). Additionally, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) was emplo ed to derive the impact of admixed...
