TL;DR: Polymer-modified or polymer cement mortar (PCM) and concrete (PCC) are materials that deal with concrete-polymer composites as mentioned in this paper, they are made by partially replacing the cement hydrate binders of conventional cement mortar or concrete with polymers, such as polymeric admixtures or cement modifiers, and by strengthening the binders with the polymers.
Abstract: Polymer-modified or polymer cement mortar (PCM) and concrete (PCC) are materials that deal with concrete-polymer composites. They are made by partially replacing the cement hydrate binders of conventional cement mortar or concrete with polymers, such as polymeric admixtures or cement modifiers, and by strengthening the binders with the polymers. The polymeric admixtures or cement modifiers include latexes, emulsified polymers, redispersible polymer powders, water-soluble polymers, liquid resins, and monomers. The composite concrete and mortars are currently used as popular construction materials. This book brings together the current knowledge and information of PCMs and PCCs and discusses or reviews the following items in detail: principles of polymer modification for cement composites, process technology of PCMs and PCCs, properties of PCMs and PCCs, applications of PCMs and PCCs, and special polymer-modified systems such as MDF cements, antiwashout underwater concretes, polymer-ferrocements, and artificial woods. An index and chapter references are included.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the experimental investigations of the resistance to impact loading of cement mortar slabs reinforced with four natural fibres, coir, sisal, jute, hibiscus cannebinus, and four different fibre contents (0.5, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.5%) and three fiber lengths (20mm, 30mm and 40mm) were considered.
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental investigations of the resistance to impact loading of cement mortar slabs (1:3, size: 300 mm × 300 mm × 20 mm) reinforced with four natural fibres, coir, sisal, jute, hibiscus cannebinus and subjected to impact loading using a simple projectile test. Four different fibre contents (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.5%—by weight of cement) and three fibre lengths (20 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm) were considered. The results obtained have shown that the addition of the above natural fibres has increased the impact resistance by 3–18 times than that of the reference (i.e. plain) mortar slab. Of the four fibres, coir fibre reinforced mortar slab specimens have shown the best performance based on the set of chosen indicators, i.e. the impact resistance (Ru), residual impact strength ratio (Irs), impact crack-resistance ratio (Cr) and the condition of fibre at ultimate failure.
