ANALYSIS OF THE SURFACE PROPERTIES OF ZIZIPHUS JOAZEIRO MART. AND ITS PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL EFFECTS UNDER PORTLAND CEMENT MORTAR

Surfactants are products widely used in many segments of the industry and because they exhibit properties can intensify or improve some which used. Natural surfactants obtained by isolating material animal vegetable origin without undergoing chemical changes its structure. An example a natural surfactant is that from Juá husk. Considering relevance for obtaining surfactants, this work will analyze effects on physical mechanical incorporation, different proportions, powder additive produced husk trunk Ziyphus Joazeiro Mart. offer Portland cement mortar CP-II - Z. The study was carried out at IFPB Campus Cajazeiras facilities. Tests were seek to evaluate provided Ziziphus mortar. production combined with “husk” may be able result structures optimized characteristics, especially regard consumption water mixture water, aggregate binder, workability resistance, consequences resulting inherent studied composite
