    This document discusses the mix design for polymer modified mortars and concrete. It defines polymer-modified concrete as Portland cement and aggregate combined with organic polymers dispersed in water, known as latex. Latex-modified mortar and concrete are described as having superior properties like high tensile and flexural strength, excellent adhesion, waterproofness, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance compared to ordinary cement mixtures. The document notes that latex-modified mortars are widely used instead of latex-modified concrete for applications due to a better balance of performance and cost.

    Abstract:
    Polymer-modified Concrete (PMC) has also been called polymer-Portland
    cement-concrete (PPCC) and latex-modified concrete (LMC). It is defined as
    Portland cement and aggregate combined at the time of mixing with organic
    polymers that are dispersed or redispersed in water. This dispersion is called
    latex; the organic polymer is a substance composed of thousands of simple
    molecules combined into large molecules. The simple molecules are known as
    monomers, and the reaction that combines them is called polymerization. Of
    various polymer-modified mortar and concrete, latex-modified mortar and
    concrete have superior properties, such as high tensile and flexural strength,
    excellent adhesion, high waterproofness, high abrasion resistance and good
    chemical resistance, to ordinary cement mortar and concrete. Accordingly they
    are widely used in many specialized applications in which ordinary cement
    mortar and concrete have been employed to a lesser extent till now. In these
    applications, the latex-modified mortars are widely used rather than the latexmodified concrete from the viewpoint of a balance between their performance
    and cost.
