Effects of curing regimes on the mechanical properties and durability of polymer-modified mortars – an experimental investigation
The present research investigates the polymer/cement (P/C) ratios (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) on mechanical and durability properties of modified mortar exposed to different curing conditions. These properties include compressive and flexural strengths, flow spread test, water absorption, density, coefficient of water absorption, sorptivity, and salt/sulfate resistance tests. The results show that combining seven days of water submergence and 21 days of ambient temperature curing (7W21D) along with 15% polymer content is more helpful to improve the mortar properties compared to other mix proportions and curing conditions. Interestingly, the same combination resulted in a better performance in terms of water absorption, the coefficient of water absorption, sorptivity, toughness and salt/sulfate resistance as compared to polymer-modified mortars (PMMs) containing 0, 5, 10, and 20% polymer.
