Abstract
With the technological advancements in the field of architecture industry advanced construction materials are gaining importance. Advanced materials are slowly replacing conventional construction materials due to their large number of advantages. Even though conventional materials have higher strength they do not provide resistance to flame, oxidation and are static in nature. Polymeric materials are gaining more importance as they possess better functional properties and are easily synthesized when compared to conventional inorganic construction materials. Polymeric materials can be used as binders, top coats as well as substrates. The properties of polymeric materials can be altered as per the requirements by blending with additives. These polymeric materials can be mixed with conventional materials like concrete to improve the properties. This chapter provides the classification, properties, applications, merits and demerits of polymeric materials in the construction field
