Polymer-Modified Mortars with Increased Amount of C-S-H Phase

Abstract:

The article focuses on the observation of the quality of polymer-modified mortars, where through the use of appropriate types of by-products the amount of C-S-H phase registered an increase. Specifically, it was waste shale and waste diatomaceous earth because these two by-products displayed pozzolana reaction. Tests were performed which showed that the increased content of C-S-H phase contributes to the improvement in monitored properties, particularly increase in the values of adhesiveness.
