                              7.0    MISCELLANEOUS ADMIXTURES


                                     In addition to admixtures already described, many others are used
                              to produce special modification of concrete and mortar. Thermal Analysis
                              Techniques have not been applied significantly to examine the role of these
                              admixtures in concrete, although they have potential. A thorough treatment
                              of these admixtures is presented in Ref. 89. A brief description of some of
                              these admixtures follows.
