Background
Concrete is widely applied to civil engineering as a building material, and a polycarboxylate water reducing agent as a fifth component of modern concrete is an essential component in concrete and plays a central role in the concrete production technology. The main raw material of the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent is unsaturated polyether, which is a polyether monomer with a certain molecular weight obtained by directly carrying out polymerization reaction on allyl alcohol, methallyl alcohol, isopentenol and the like serving as raw materials and ethylene oxide anions.

At present, polyether with different molecular weight is prepared by reacting different unsaturated alcohol and ethylene oxide, for example, Chinese patent CN102206335B, CN111848944A, etc., and the research on the aspect of polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent by the molecular structure is not reported. Therefore, the influence of the polyether structure on the polycarboxylate superplasticizer is deeply researched, and the development and synthesis of novel polyether for improving the performance of the polycarboxylate superplasticizer are of great significance.
The main stream raw materials for synthesizing the domestic polycarboxylate superplasticizer are methyl allyl polyoxyethylene ether and isopentenyl polyoxyethylene ether, the water reducer synthesized by the polyether is sensitive to the content of clay and stone powder in the aggregate of sandstone, so that the water reducing performance is reduced, and the slump retaining performance of the mixed concrete is deteriorated to cause pump blockage and the like.
