Abstract: | The electricla behavior of polymer-modified cement mortars has been evaluated as a function of the polymer and the evaporable water contents. The effects have been correlated to microstructural changes induced by the addition of an acrylic polymer and an epoxy resin purposely formulated for cement-based composites. Moreover, the effect of the addition of pulverized fly ash, which has proved to be beneficial on many of the cement composite properties, has also been studied. Polymer modified cement mortar composites exhibit a tendency towards insulating behavior which is greatly enhanced by water losses: the electrical properties must thus be carefully evaluated when static charge accumulation is not desired. The addition of pulverized fly ash to ordinary Portland mortars slightly influences the electrical behaviour, but strongly enhances the insulating behaviour of polymer modified cement mortars. |
