The present invention provides a novel polymer, and a mixture and a cement
admixture thereof. The cement admixture has higher dispersibility
compared to the previous ones. The novel polymer of the present invention
has a different structure from the conventional copolymers used for
cement admixtures, using an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer and an
unsaturated polyalkylene glycol monomer as the monomer components. The
novel polymer of the present invention basically contains a polyalkylene
glycol chain and a polymer segment bonded to the chain. Another type of
the novel polymer of the present invention contains two polyalkylene
glycol chains and a polymer segment connecting the chains. In these
polymers, at least one of unsaturated monomers constituting the polymer
segment is an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer or an unsaturated
polyalkylene glycol monomer. The cement admixture of the present
invention comprises a polymer, made from these monomers, or a mixture
thereof.
