The modern types of concrete are a mixture of aggregates, cement, water and optional
additives and admixtures. In particular, polymer additives seem to be a promising type of …

Ordinary silicate cement repair materials are slow to set and harden, have low early
strength, and cannot meet the demands of rapid repair, and the disadvantage of brittleness …

The composite of sulphoaluminate cement (SAC) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex
is expected to possess rapid strength development and adjustable elastic modulus, mainly …

Three types of polymer modifier used in concrete (styrene-butadiene rubber latex,
polyacrylic ester emulsion and organic silicon waterproof agent) were employed to …

In-situ polymerization of polymers with cement can greatly improve the engineering
performances of cementitious composites, the structural mechanisms, however, remain still …

Bisphenol A-type epoxy resin reinforced by TiO 2 with different dosages (0, 1%, 3%, 5%)
was for the first time used as a polymeric admixture to prepare ordinary Portland cement …

Polymer concrete is well-known for quick repairing of concrete structures and pavement.
However, there are relatively few studies on the durability of epoxy polymer concrete (EPC) …

Traditional cement-based materials are quasi-brittle materials characterized by their low
flexural toughness and susceptibility to cracking. In recent years, numerous endeavors have …

In this work, the effects of hybrid toughening materials on the flexural and compressive
toughness of cement-based materials were studied experimentally. In specific, mortar and …

In this study, the bending properties of polyvinyl alcohol-polypropylene fiber toughened
foamed concrete were assessed by the three-point bending test. The flexural properties of …
