Polymer-modified cement mortar (PMCM) composite materials have drawn the attention of
researchers worldwide because of their excellent capabilities such as crack resistance …

In many applications such as grouting, shotcrete, and 3D concrete printing, conflicting
material requirements exist between the transportation and fabrication process, as fresh …

Anti-water-penetration techniques are important to raise the durability of cement-based
materials (CBMs). Here the water penetration resistances of cement mortars with ethylene …

With the deterioration and ageing of concrete structures, repair and rehabilitation have
emerged as one of the most critical activities associated with high maintenance costs. One of …

In this study, three different types of polymer latexes (styrene butadiene rubber (SBR),
styrene acrylic ester (SAE) and polyacrylic ester (PAE)) with three different dosages (0 …

To reveal the toughening mechanism of polymers and fibers in composite applications, a
combination of physical tests (uniaxial compression, flexural fracture, single fiber pull-out …

Portland cement–aluminate cement–hemihydrate gypsum ternary binder repair mortars, as
a type of road repair material, have the advantages of fast hardening and early strength …

To achieve stiffening control in 3D concrete printing, a twin-pipe pumping (TPP) system has
been developed, where two streams of cementitious materials are pumped separately via …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) emulsion is commonly used in cement-based materials to
obtain higher performance. The present work investigates the interaction mechanisms …

This study investigated the performance of polymer concrete (PC) containing polyester and
epoxy resins, and latex-modified concrete (LMC) containing SBR and epoxy latexes in terms …
