Study on Polymer-Modified Concrete for Improving Flexural Toughness

Abstract:

This paper studies how polymer alters the flexural toughness of concrete. By selecting five different types of polymer mixing into concrete; results indicate that polymer has obvious effect to enhance toughness of concrete evaluated by toughness index T. Microstructure of polymer-modified concrete were studied through environment scanning electron microscope, digital micro-hardness tester and nanoindentor, results indicate that polymer form the ionic compounds and reduce the crystallization of Ca (OH)₂, acting as a flexible filler and reinforcement in concrete. Polymer also alters the microstructure at the aggregatecement interfacial transition zone.
