Polymer modified steel fiber-reinforced concretes were produced with addition of both steel fibers and a styrene butadiene rubber emulsion (SBR). Both flexural and compressive strength of the composites after 28 days curing were tested. Microstructures of the composites were analyzed by using scanni

Polymer-based nanocomposites have shown superior mechanical, thermal, as well as multifunctional properties when compared to plain polymer matrices. This fact has lead to a great research activity focused on incorporating polymeric materials with nanoparticles over the last years. The present resear
The polymer systems of vinyl latex, epoxy latex/resin, and phenol formaldehyde were used to modify sand-cement mortar at room temperature. The compressive strength increased with an increase of the latex/resin concentration, with the addition of CaCl 2 or CaCO 3 , and with the addition of superplast
The effect of volume fraction porosity on the mechanical properties of cement mortar is studied. It is shown that both the Young's modulus and fracture toughness decrease with porosity. Although the flexural strength also decreases with porosity the linear relationship is largely fortuitous. Maxim
## 1 Introduction A Portland cement was reinforced by incorporating carbon fibers (CF), silica powder, and impregnating the pores with styrene monomers which were polymerized in situ. The effects of type, length, and volume loading of CF, mixing conditions, curing time, and curing conditions on mec
