“…Also, when concrete is being disposed, large amount of solid wastes are released into the environment. To checkmate these excesses, the need to reduce the amount of Portland cement needed led to the usage of solutions such as the supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash [3,4].…”

The use of polymers in reinforcement is a field that is gradually gaining momentum in the world of material science. The use of these polymers aids in reducing the menace of pollution attributed in the production of these materials. Till now, no work has been done on the use of polyacrylic resin in the reinforcement of material and that is what this research tries to throw more light on. This work is aimed at studying the effect of water absorption and the mechanical properties of polymeric Portland cement, Polymeric Barite and Polymeric Calcium carbonate, all locally blended in various ratios. The Mechanical and Water absorption properties of the mixture of Polyacrylic resin and Cement, Polyacrylic resin and Barite and Polyacylic resin and Calcium carbonate was analyzed. Eight different ratios of the Resin and Fillers were used in this
