Effect of waste glass content on the physico‐chemical and mechanical properties of styrene acrylic ester blended cement mortar composites

Abstract

This study focuses on the partial substitution effect of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) by different ratios of waste glass powder (5%, 10%, and 20% by weight of cement) on the performance of blended cement mortars. The hardened blended cement mortars were first cured under tap water for different time intervals 3, 7, 28, and 90 days. However, the effect of addition of 10% styrene‐acrylic ester as well as the influence of different doses of gamma rays on the physico‐chemical and mechanical properties of polymer modified blended cement mortar specimens were discussed. Compressive strength, total porosity, and water absorption percentages were measured. The experimental results showed that the physico‐chemical and mechanical properties of blended cement mortars specimens improved as the waste glass content increases up to 20%. In addition, irradiated SAE blended cement mortar composites containing 20% waste glass showed an enhancement in its properties as compared to neat cement (0%WG content) composites. The results were confirmed by X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:985–996, 2018. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers

Partial replacement of Portland cement with industrial glass waste in mortars

“…Specific mass and apparent specific mass were 2.67 kg/dm 3 and 1.45 kg/dm 3 , respectively. These values and the measured fineness modulus were similar to other works [1], [2]. Powdered material present was within the 3 w.t.% to 5 w.t.% recommended margin specified in NBR NM 46:2003 [12].…”

“…production. Cement remains one of the main materials needed in construction and its production also consumes a significant amount of energy and contributes greatly to carbon dioxide emissions [2].…”

“…To this end, Sales et al [3] noted that cement substitution with solid residues has been used as an alternative. Several studies have been conducted to improve the performance, durability, physical and chemical properties, hydration and microstructure of mixtures mortar and concrete that incorporate residues [2].…”

“…Glass, as noted by Gómez-Soberón et al [4], is a different type of recyclable material available in great quantities to supply the demand for substitute construction materials. Glass itself is also a solid residue with several environmental impacts: it is non-biodegradable so it permanently occupies landfills and associated pollution can be pervasive in the air, water and soil [2], [4]. A possible solution would be the use of glass in concrete and mortar mixtures since it has chemical composition and phases similar to traditional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) [5].…”

“…In addition to binder applications, SAC latexes have a wide range of work in industrial applications like paint, coating, ink and adhesive [1][2][3][4][5]. Due to the wide range of applications of SAC latexes, there has been an increase in the number of studies focused on improving the chemical properties of SAC latexes in recent years [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. SAC latexes having a minimum film-forming temperature above the application temperature show surface defects after coating [13,14].…”
