The purpose of this study is to improve the properties by increasing of the adhesion strength of styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) latex coated powdered rubber in cement mortar. SBR-modified mortar using powdered rubber is also tested as the same method. From the test results, the cement mortar using SBR latex coated powdered rubber have a good mechanical properties compared with that using uncoated powdered rubber. The mechanical properties of SBR-modified mortar using powdered rubber with polymer-cement ratios of 10% are also improved.

Nowadays, polymer-cement mortars are widely used in construction field(floorings and pavements, water-proofings, adhesives, repair materials, deck coverings, anti-corrosive linings) Because of excellent performance such as high tensile and flexural strength, waterproofness, excellent adhesion, good durability, improved wear and chemical resistances. This article presents the results of experimental study that investigates the effect of ambient temperature on the strength properties of polymer-modified cement mortar. Results show that when increasing the polymer proportion in mortar on different ambient temperature, the compressive strength and flexural strength are decreased, and also alkali resistance is decreased.

Strength and Durability of reinforced concrete exposed at deteriorated environment are decreased by cover spatting and corrosion of reinforcement. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate capacity of strengthening axial member using admixture-modified mortar. To investigate the capacity of strengthened axial member, behavior and strength of strengthening specimens were compared with a monolithic basic specimen. Admixture-modified mortar was prepared with silica fume, zeolite, polymer as cement modifier. From the result of this experiment, strengthening specimens using polymer-modified mortar have apparrent strengthening capacity because of good flexural strength and tensile strength.

The effects of the monomer ratios on the typical properties of polymer modified mortars that contain styrene and butyl acrylate latexes was investigated. Basic data was also obtained that is necessary for the development of appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. Polymer modified mortars that contain styrene and butyl acrylate latexes polymerized with various monomer ratios were prepared for different polymer-cement ratios. They were then tested to obtain the particle size of the 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 that have styrene and butyl acrylate latexes (with the mix proportions of synthesis having monomer ratios of between 40:60 to 60:40 for the appropriate mix proportions) could be recommended for practical applications. The basic properties of the polymer modified mortars were more affected by the polymer-cement ratio than by the monomer ratio, and were improved over unmodified mortar.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio, antifoamer content and shrinkage-reducing agent content on the air content, setting time and drying shrinkage of polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder are examined. As a result the air content of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio and antifoamer agent content. Regardless of the antifoamer content, the setting time of the polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend 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.

The effects of polymer-cement ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content on the durability characteristics of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder are examined. As a result, the flexural and tensile strengths of the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to increase with increasing polymer-cement ratio, and tend to decrease with increasing shrinkage-reducing agent content. However, the compressive strength of the ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio and shrinkage-reducing agent content. And, water absorption and mass change of chemicals resistance of ultrarapid-hardening polymer-modified mortars using redispersible polymer powder tend to decrease with increasing polymer-cement ratio.

The purpose of this study is to improve the durability performance of polymer modified cement composites for repair of concrete under combined aging conditions. The experimental procedure was divided into three parts. First, the replacement level of mineral admixtures in polymer modified cement composites were determined in an experimental study based on a Box Behnken design. Second, the flow value, compressive strength and chloride permeability test of sixteen types of mixtures were conducted. Test results show that the polymer modified cement composites were effected on the improvement of the compressive strength and permeability performance. Third, the effects on the replacement level of silica fume mixture was evaluated by the compressive strength, chloride permeability, chemical resistance and repeated freezing and thawing cycles test. They demonstrated that the polymer modified cement composites using mixture of silica fume, fly ash, and blast furnace slag improved the durability performance.

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.

Not only mechanical properties, bonding properties, electro chemical properties, etc. but also fire safety is required in patch repair materials such as polymer modified cement mortar (PCM) which are used to deteriorated reinforced concrete structure. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to choice the appropriate repair materials because there are not enough information about fire safety properties of PCM. In this study, The combustion characters of PCM were evaluated through the heat release rate test and non-combustibility test. The pyrogenicity test uses the cone calorimeter based on the oxygen consumption method. The non-combustibility test is from the temperature change inside the furnace during the test. The effect of the types of polymer and polymer content were evaluated from the series of test. The results are like followings. 1) The higher the W/C of PCM, the lower the gross calorific value and heat generation rate in the heat release rate test. The amount of heat generation of PCM is like the order of VVA, EVA, and SBR in this study. 2) Some materials such as E45-100, E50-100, E60-100, S50-50, and S50-100 were estimated as not appropriate building materials in the non combustibility test.

In this study, the fire resistance capabilities of polypropylene fiber-reinforced polymer-modified cement mortar were assessed to guarantee the fire resistance fo this materials, commonly employed in the repair of concrete structures. Experimental outcomes revealed that an increased water and polymer content heightened the likelihood of spalling, while longer polypropylene fibers and elevated polymer concentrations proved more effective in mitigating spalling.
