Experimental study on thermo-mechanical properties of Polymer Modified Mortar
Highlights We studied thermal and mechanical properties of ordinary and Polymer Modified Mortars. For ordinary and polymer samples with different contents of Portland cement were used. XDM, DSC and SEM were conducted to examine the interaction of the polymer mortars used. Real improvement of the polymer mortars thermal properties was observed in comparison with ordinary ones. Decrease of the mechanical strength of polymer mortars was observed when HDPE is added.
Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental program devoted to the study of Polymer Modified Mortars’ (PMM) thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and calorific capacity at different temperatures and compressive and flexural strengths at room-temperature. For this purpose, Ordinary Mortar (OM) and PMM samples with different contents and through partial substitution of Portland cement were prepared. A real improvement of the PMM thermal properties was observed in comparison with those of OM despite the decrease of mechanical strength. X-rays Diffract Meter (XDM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) were also conducted to show the interaction of the polymer material considered.
