Effect of Polymer Latex and Fiber on Properties of Sulpho Aluminate Cement Mortar

Abstract:

Two kinds of polymer latex and fiber are used to improve the physical performance of cement mortar. The influences of the fiber and latex added alone and together on the compressive and flexural strength, toughness, bondability, and compactedness of the hardened mortar were studied, and the modified mechanism was also discussed by SEM and XRD. The results showed that both of the latex and fiber can improve the compressive and flexural strength of mortar in low content, decrease the porosity, improve the toughness and bond flexural strength significantly, and delay hydration process of cement mortar. The effect of fiber-latex added together was better than that of two matters added separately. The optimized components for fiber-latex hybrid were: ACE12% + PVA1.6 kg/m3.
