Strength properties and polymer-cement ratio

Effects of Control Factors for Mix Proportions. The binder of latex-modified mortar and concrete consists of polymer latex and inorganic cement, and their strength is developed as a result of an interaction between them. The polymer-cement ratio has a more pronounced effect on the strength properties than the water-cement ratio. However, this effect depends on polymer t3rpe, air content, curing conditions, etc. The relation between the strength properties and polymer-cement ratio has been discussed in a number of papers.P l 1 1 A general trend which summarizes the results obtained in these papers is presented in Fig. 4.19.
