    This document discusses three types of polymer concrete: polymer concrete (PC), latex-modified concrete (LMC), and polymer-impregnated concrete (PIC). PC uses polymer as a binder instead of cement. LMC is normal concrete with some mixing water replaced by latex. PIC involves impregnating hardened concrete pores with polymer. PC has high strength and chemical resistance but thermal and creep issues limit its use in structures. LMC adds latex as an admixture, improving workability and resistance to water and chemicals. PIC involves drying and soaking hardened concrete in low-viscosity polymer to fill pores and cracks, enhancing durability against frost, abrasion and chemicals.

    Concrete Contain Polymer

    Introduction
    (1) Polymer concrete (PC): Use polymer as binder to bind the
    aggregate (No cement)
    (2) Latex-modified concrete (LMC): Polymer-modified concrete.
    NC with replacing some mixing water by latex
    (3) Polymer-impregnate concrete (PIC): Impregnate or infiltrate
    hardened concrete pores with polymer (latex)
    High cost
    Polymer Concrete (PC)
    Polymer concrete (PC) = mixture of aggregate with polymer as binder
    Minimum binder  Low cost  maximum dry density of aggregate
    Use dry aggregate  Moisture cause damage in polymer concrete

    Maximum Density  Minimum Voids 20 – 25% filled with


     1:1 mixture of polymer and sand

    Set and harden in Few Hours


    Polymer Concrete (PC)
    Properties of Polymer Concrete depend on
     Amount of polymer
     Properties of polymer
    Good chemical resistance
    High initial strength
    High modulus of elasticity
    Used in overlays and repair of damaged concrete
    Polymer Concrete (PC)
    Not used for structures because of
     Thermal and creep Problems

    Viscoelastic behavior 
     Load > 50% of u  Failure
     Load < 50% of u  No failure
    Polymer Concrete (PC)
    Methyl Meth-Acrylate
    (MMA)

    Butyl Acrylate (5% % 20%)


    Latex Modified Concrete (LMC)
    Normal Concrete  Latex added as admixture from water
     Latex used as 10 to 25% by wt of cement
    Latex = Polymer suspended in water
    Latex contain 50 wt% polymer (spherical particles 0.01 to 1 μm diameter)
     suspended in water by surface-active agents (reduce surface tension)
    Surface-active agents increase entrained air in concrete
    Latex Modified Concrete (LMC)
    Used as overlay of concrete surface
    Increase workability of concrete
    High cost
    w/c ratio range 0.4 – 0.45
    Cement content 390 – 420 kg/m3
    Hardening of latex by Drying (loss) of water
    Use dry curing  water in latex hydrates with cement
    Latex Modified Concrete (LMC)
    Good bond with old concrete
    Resist entry of water and aggressive solutions (Chloride, sulfur, acid)
    Used for repair of damaged floor, pavement, and bridge deck
     Overlays in industrial floors
    Polymer Impregnated Concrete (PIC)
    Hardened concrete contain pores and micro-crack
    Filling concrete pores with polymer
    Concrete should dry and evacuate
    Polymer with low viscosity used
    Use MMA and Styrene polymers
    Hardening at 70 – 90 C (Steam, heat)
    Often PIC used as precast elements in factory
    Polymer Impregnated Concrete (PIC)
    Element Thickness < 15 cm to fully penetrate
    (1) Casting concrete elements
    (2) Normal curing for 7 or 28 days
    (3) Drying at 20 C 14 days
     100 C 7 days
     150 C 3 days
    (4) Soak in polymer 1 Hr Evacuation
    12 Hr No Evacuation
    Polymer Impregnated Concrete (PIC)

     20 C 12 Hr
    Polymer Impregnated Concrete (PIC)
    Excellent Durability to
    Frost action, Abrasion, Chemical attack (Sulfate, corrosion)
