Faiyas, A.P.A. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)This article presents an experimental investigation on the influence of Methylhydroxyethylcellulose (MHEC) modified mortar on water absorption into tile and base substrate using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) imaging. Addition of MHEC shifts the absorption behavior from homogeneous to inhomogeneous as a result of increased viscosity of pore...article 2019

Faiyas, A.P.A. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)This article presents an experimental investigation on transport of methylhydroxyethylcellulose (MHEC) during drying of a model porous material. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and thermogravimetric analysis are used to measure water and MHEC transport, respectively. MHEC is added to glue mortars to increase open time, i.e., the time period...article 2017

(author)This article presents both an experimental as well as a theoretical study on the effect of MethylHy droxyEthylCellulose (MHEC) on drying in porous materials using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMR). MHEC, a water soluble polymer, is normally added to glue mortars as a water retention agent in order to improve the drying by increasing...article 2015

Faiyas, A.P.A. (author), Erich, S.J.F. (author), Nijland, T.G. (author), Hunnink, H.P. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)Cement based mortars are widely used as adhesive for tiles in building and construction. They have a limited timespan during which a tile can be placed effectively in order to develop sufficient bond strength. This timespan, usually called ’open time’, is controlled, amongst others, by adding water soluble polymers such as methyl cellulose or...conference paper 2015
