Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was created about 90 years ago as the first synthetic colloid and it
has been used for various applications since then. One of the significant applications of PVA …

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 …

Water based polymer systems are often used for improvement in the properties of plain
cement mortar or concrete. Presently, latexes of a single or combinations of polymers like …

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 …

Cement-based materials are irreplaceable in civil engineering, and hence, there is an
