β¦ Synopsis
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 superplasticizer. Tensile and flexural strengths also increased with polymer incorporation. The porosity of the modified mortar decreased with the addition of resin. The percentage of water absorption and acid solubility were found to decrease for the latex/resin modified samples.

A crystalline polymer, Nylon 6, was selectively blended with various amorphous polymers containing phenolic moieties. It was found that moisture absorption by the amide group in Nylon 6 could effectively be reduced by blending with p-Cl-novolac at ratios as low as 2 phr (part per hundred resin). Ble
## Abstract This article reports a headspace gas chromatography (GC) method for the determination of the residual monomer in a methyl methacrylate polymer latex or emulsion. Because of the multiphase nature of a polymer latex, the level of the residual monomer cannot be quantified by headspace GC o
