In this study, the fire resistance performance of polymer cement mortars which are used as a representative repair material for section restoration, is evaluated and residual bond strength is measured by considering unity with concrete. According to the evaluation of fire resistance performance of re-emulsification type polymer cement mortars, residual compressive strength was drastically decreased according to heating temperatures with an increase of polymer addition rate, and this seems to be attributable to the application of polymer film. In addition, an explosion phenomenon occurred frequently with an increase of addition rate, so this should be considered when selecting repair materials and processing.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of the emulsifier ratio on strength properties of the polymer-modified mortars using methylmethacrylate-ethyl acrylate(MMA/EA) latexes, and to obtain basic data necessary to develope appropriate latexes for cement modifiers. Polymer-modified mortars using MMA/EA latexes are prepared with various monomer ratios, and tested for air content, flexural and compressive strengths. From the test results, we knew that the water-cement ratio is decreased and the air content is increased with an increase in the amount of emulsifier. In general, the superior flexural and compressive strengths of polymer-modified mortars using MMA/EA latexes is obtained at a bound MMA content of 60 percent and a emulsifier ratio of 6 percent.

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 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.

Effects of the polymer-binder ratio and slag content on the properties of combined wet/dry-cured polymer-modified mortars using granulated blast-furnace slag are examined. Results shows that the flexural, compressive, tensile and adhesion in tension strengths of polymer-modified mortar using the slag tend to increase with increasing slag content, and is inclined to increase with increasing polymer-binder ratio. In particular, the polymer-modified mortars with slag content of 40% provide about 20% higher tensile strength than unmodified mortars. Such high strength development is attributed to the high tensile strength of polymer and the improved bond between cement hydrates and aggregates because of the addition of polymer.

This study deals with the properties of polymer-modified mortars with a nitrite-type hydrocalumite, which are effectively used as intelligent patch materials for deteriorated reinforced concrete structures. The calumite is a material that can adsorb the chloride ions (Cl-) causing the corrosion of reinforcing bars and liberate the nitrite ions (NO2-) inhibiting the corrosion in reinforced concrete, and can provide a self-corrosion inhibition function to the reinforced concrete. Polymer-modified mortars using hydrocalumite and terpolymer powders are prepared with various calumite contents and polymer-binder ratios, and tested for corrosion inhibition. Subsequently, regardless of the polymer-binder ratio, the replacement of ordinary portland cement with the calumite has a marked effect on the corrosion-inhibiting property of the polymer-modified mortars.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesion of concrete pipe lining using polymer mortar. The polymer mortars with various mix proportions are prepared, and tested for flexural and compressive strengths, adhesion in tension, and the aspects of lining surface and workability are evaluated. Form the test results, it is apparent that the appropriate polymer mortars of lining to concrete pipe can be produced. The flexural and compressive strengths of polymer mortar for lining are affected by type of resin, and aggregates content, and water content at the surface of concrete pipe is important factor for improvement in adhesion of polymer mortar. It is obvious that the economical polymer mortars having an excellent cost performance ration can be produced through this study.

Polymer-modified mortar was developed for improving the performance of modified mortar which is mixed with polymer, and it is used for protecting and repairing materials of building because of their excellent performance to improve characteristics which are compressive strength, flexural strength, and adhesive strength. However, the performances of the polymer-modified mortars are highly affected by materials, which are polymer, mortar, and aggregates, and conditions which are curing environment and testing method. Furthermore, dry curing method after hydrated curing has been recommended to make strong polymer film for the best curing method to make excellent characteristics. In this report, We investigated the co-relation between curing methods and the characteristics, which are compressive strength, flexural strength, and adhesive strength for the polymer-modified mortars that are used in the domestic area.

The purpose of present study is to examine the application of effective curing to hardener-free epoxy-modified mortars. The epoxy-modified mortars are prepared with polymer-cement ratios, subjected to two types of curing conditions, and tested for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths. As a result, hardener-free epoxy-modified mortars with steam curing is markedly improved with increasing air-dry curing period. High strength development of the epoxy-modified mortars may be achieved by the dense microstructure by cement and the hardener of the epoxy resin in the mortars.

The effects of polymer-binder ratio and slag content on the properties of combined wet/dry-cured polymer-modified mortars using granulated blast-furnace slag (slag) are examined. As a result, the flexural and compressive strengths of polymer-modified mortar using slag reaches a maximum at a slag content of 40%, and is inclined to increase with increasing polymer-binder ratio. The water absorption, carbonation depth and chloride ion penetration depth tend to decrease with increasing polymer-binder ratio and slag content.
