Abstract

It is well known that polymer can improve the performance of cement mortar, e.g., the workability, flexural strength, tensile bond strength, flexibility, and durability. But environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity variation influence the hydration of cement and the morphology of polymer in cement mortar. Therefore, the service environment will impact the performance of polymer-modified cement mortar. In recent years, researches on the influence of curing temperature and humidity variation on the properties of polymer-modified cement mortar are increasing, which refer to a wide range of temperature and humidity changes. This chapter summarizes the research progress in our laboratory on the effect of curing temperature and humidity on the properties of polymer-modified Portland cement mortar and polymer-modified calcium sulfoaluminate cement mortar.
