by Yoshihiko Ohama

This book deals with the principles of polymer modification for cement composites, the process technology, properties and applications of the polymer-modified mortar and concrete, and special polymer-modified systems such as MDF cement, anti-washout underwater concrete, polymer-ferrocement, and artificial wood.

The polymeric admixtures or cement modifiers include latexes or emulsions, redispersible polymer powders, water-soluble polymers, liquid resins and monomers.

This book describes the current knowledge and information of polymer-modified mortars and concretes, and discusses or reviews the following items in detail, including:

• Principles of polymer modification for cement composites.

• Process technology of polymer-modified mortars and concretes.

• Properties of polymer-modified mortars and concretes.

• Applications of polymer-modified mortars and concretes.

• Special polymer-modified systems such as MDF cements, anti-washout underwater concretes, polymer-ferrocements, and artificial woods.
