Introduction

PCC: Polymer modified Cement Concrete

definition: cement concrete with polymers
polymer/cement-ratio 0,05 < p/c < 0,20
[RILEM TC 113, 1995]
advantages: improvement of workability
improvement of adhesion and cohesion
increase of flexural strength and tensile strength
increase of durability
increase of ductility
drawbacks: decrease of hydration degree and compressive strength
increase of viscose and plastic deformations
very expansive
applications: concrete repair and restoration, industrial floors
 innovation potential for new applications
