The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement effect of adhesion in tension and flexure of polymer cement mortars that have widely used as a repair-reinforcement material in construction field according to adding of polymer dispersions depending on different three types test methods. From the test results, the adhesion performance is improved with a raise in polymer-cement ratio irrespective of the type of polymer. The maximums of A type adhesion in tension, B type adhesion in tension and adhesion in flexure show 1.90 times, 2.17 times and 1.83 times, respectively that of plain cement mortar. The relative strength ratios, B type adhesion in tension and adhesion in flexure of polymer cement mortars to tensile and flexural strengths of plain mortar respectively are in ranges of 50.1% to 101.7% and 73.8% to 132.9% compared to 46.9% of plain mortar. It is apparent that polymer cement mortars with EVA and polymer cement ratios of 10% to 15% are recommended considering its adhesion performance and cost as a repair-reinforcement material in construction field.

방사성농축폐액처리를 위한 Polymer-Modified-portlandcement 고화체는 Polymer 및 시멘트, 물을 혼합매질로 제조되며 농축폐액처리를 위해 Emulsion Polymer를 사용하였으며 PMC 고화체의 물성을 평가하기위한 고화체의 제조에서 이들 매질의 최적혼합비를 찾기 위해 Polymer 및 물, 시멘트의 혼합비를 1/1/2,1/2/4,1/3/9 등 혼합비에 따른 시편 및 Polymer 첨가량의 증가에 따라 함유비를 달리하는 시편을 제조하여 경화시간별 압축강도를 측정하였으며 매질의 최적혼합비 및 폴리머의 투입비를 구하고자하였다. 특성평가시험을 위한 시편으로는 직경 50, 높이 100mm(L/D=2) 인시편을 제조하여 압축강도를 측정하였으며 폴리머와 시멘트의 결합상태를 확인하기위해 SEM사진을 통한 미세구조를 관찰하였으며 시험결과 P/W/C의비가 1/3/9인 혼합비시편의 압축강도가 $343.36Kg_f/cm^2$로 가장 높았으며 폴리머의 함유량을 달리한 시험에서는 7%폴리머 함유시편은 $397.24Kg_f/cm^2$, 20% 폴리머함유시편은 $175.36Kg_f/cm^2$으로 폴리머의 함유량이 7~15% 이내의 폴리머함유고화체가 적합한 것으로 판단되었으며 폴리머의 투입양이 증가할수록 압축강도가 감소하였으며 경화시간도 최소4주이상 되어야하는 것으로 판단되었다.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the monomer ratio on properties of the polymer-modified mortars based on styrene and butyl acrylate latexes, and to obtain basic data necessary to develop appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. This paper deals with the effects of monomer ratio on the typical properties of the polymer-modified mortars with styrene and butyl acrylate latexes. The polymer-modified mortars using the styrene and butyl acrylate latexes polymerized with various monomer ratios are prepared with different polymer-cement ratios, and tested for the particle size of polymer latexes, air contents, water-cement ratios, flexural and compressive strengths, water absorption, and chloride-ion penetration. From the test results, the polymer-modified mortars using styrene and butyl acrylate latexes with the mix proportions of synthesis having monomer ratios of 50:50 to 60:40 for the appropriate mix proportions can be recommended for practical applications. Their basic properties are greatly affected by the polymer-cement ratio rather than the monomer ratio, and are improved over un-modified mortar.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio on strength properties of ultrarapid-hardening acrylic-modified concretes. As a result, the flexural and tensile strengths of ultrarapid-hardening acrylic-modified concretes increase with increasing of polymer-cement ratio. In particular, the acrylic-modified concretes with a polymer-cement ratio of 20% provide approximately 1.5 times higher flexural and tensile strengths than unmodified concretes. Such high strength development is attributed to the high flexrul and tensile strengths of arcylic polymer and the improved bond between cement hydrates and aggregates because of the addition of acrylic polymer. However, the compressive strengths of ultrarapid-hardening acrylic-modified concretes decrease with increasing of polymer-cement ratio.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the emulsifier ratio on the properties of the polymer cement mortars based on styrene-butyl acrylate (S/BA) latexes, and to obtain necessary basic data to develop appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. The polymer dispersions for cement modifiers was synthesized using styrene and butyl acrylate. Polymer cement mortars based on S/BA latexes were prepared with various monomer and emulsifier ratios, and their water-cement ratio, air content, flexural and compressive strengths, water absorption and chloride ion penetration were tested. From the test results, the maximum flexural and compressive strengths of polymer cement mortars based on S/BA latexes were obtained at a bound styrene content of 60% and an emulsifier ratio of 6%. Also, the water absorption and chloride ion penetration depth are greatly affected by the polymer-cement ratio rather than the bound styrene and emulsifier content. Accordingly, it is judged that S/BA latexes can be used place of the conventional polymer dispersions of cement modifier.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the monomer ratio on properties of the polymer-modified mortars using methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate (MMA/BA) latexes, and to obtain basic data necessary to develop appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. From the test results, the total pore volume of polymer-modified mortars using MMA/BA latexes is linearly reduced with an increase in the bound MMA content and increased in the polymer-cement ratio. In general, the superior flexural and compressive strength of polymer-modified mortars using MMA/BA latexes is obtained at a bound MMA content of 70 or 80 percent and a polymer-cement ratio of 15%. And, the water absorption and chloride ion penetration depth are greatly affected by the polymer-cement ratio rather than the bound MMA content.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio, antifoamer content and shrinkage-reducing agent content on the air content, setting time, drying shrinkage and strength of high-fluidity polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder are examined. As a result, the air content of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tends to decrease nth increasing polymer-cement ratio and antifoamer content. Regardless of the antifoamer content, the setting time of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tends to delayed with increasing polymer-cement ratio. Irrespective of the antifoamer content, the drying shrinkage of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content. Regardless of the antifoamer content, the flexural and tensile strengths of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tends to increase with increasing polymer-cement ratio, and tend to decrease with increasing shrinkage-reducing agent content. However, the compressive strength of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder decreases with increasing polymer-cement ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio and antifoamer content on the setting time and durability of high-fluidity polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder are examined. As the result, the setting time of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tends to be delayed with increasing polymer-cement ratio, regardless of the antifoamer content. The water absorption, chloride ion penetration depth and carbonation depth of the high-fluidity polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio and antifoamer content. The resistance of freezing and thawing and chemicals improvement is attributed to the improved bond between cement hydrates and aggregates because of the incorporation of redispersible polymer powder

In this study, a mortar was produced using re-dispersible polymer powders that addresses the defects of aqueous polymer and improves the durability of cement mortar. Also, an attempt was made to examine the properties of polymer modified mortars using re-dispersible polymer powders by strength and durability tests between ordinary Portland cement mortars and polymer modified mortars mixed with aqueous dispersion. The test showed that strength and durability are improved considerably compared with ordinary Portland cement mortar, and the performance of aqueous polymer cement mortar was considerably improved. Accordingly, it is expected that high-quality prepackaged polymer modified mortars can be produced using re-dispersible polymer powders.
