Concrete and mortar polymer have been developed to gain high strength and durability. Instead of chemical polymer, organics polymer is widely used as material innovation. This research aims to investigate the performance as well as its compressive strength of carbohydrates polymer for multi-purposes mortar with amylum powder and honey to be used for multipurpose mortar. There were 285 cubes of mortar specimens 50 x 50 x 50 mm with basic composition weight ratio of cement : sand : water = 1 : 1 : 0.6 with addition of amylum powder and honey tested for compressive strength. The result found optimum composition of specimen series is KT-M-0-G which contains honey 0.03% and amylum 0.1% of cement weight with compressive strength of 37.44 MPa. The comparison of compressive strength of mortar in current investigation to the previous researches as reference has shown higher compressive strength of specimen series without honey but very low compressive strength to specimen series with honey. This research confirms that mortar with carbohydrates polymer can be used for multipurpose mortar because it has high performance of strength and durability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
