폴리머 시멘트 몰타르 혼화용 라텍스를 개발할 목적으로 carboxylated styrene butadiene 라텍스를 2단계 유화중합법으로 제조하고 시멘트 몰타르에 적용하는 실험을 수행하였다. 카르복실 모노머는 methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid와 acrylic acid를, 중합 모노머는 styrene과 butadiene을, 분자량 조절제는 t-dodecyl mercaptan을, 가교제는 divinyl benzene을 선정하고 사용량을 실험으로 결정하였다. 음이온 유화제는 sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate와 sodium salt of lauryl sulfate를, 라텍스 안정제로 nonylphenoxy poly(ethyleneoxy) ethanol 계열의 동족체들(n=10, 20, 40)을, 그리고_x000D_ potassium persulfate와 sodium bisulfite를 redox 개시제로, sodium monohydrogen phosphate와 potassium carbonate를 전해질로 사용하였다. 카르복실 모노머의 종류와 사용량, styrene과 butadiene의 단량체비 및 분자량 조절제와 가교제가 라텍스의 기본물성과 몰타르 공시체의 역학적 강도에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 고찰하여 폴리머 시멘트 몰타르 포장재용 라텍스 제조에 적합한 중합처방을 제시하였다. 또, 이 중합처방에 의해 제조한 라텍스를 폴리머 시멘트 몰타르의 적용성을 시험한 결과, 경화시간 28일에서 품질 기준보다 압축강도는 25.4%, 휨강도는 45.3% 증진된 강도의 발현 특성을 확인하였다.

For the purpose of development of the latex suitable for polymer cement mortar, experiments on the preparation of carboxylated styrene butadiene latex by the method of the two-step emulsion polymerization were performed. Methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid and acrylic acid were selected as carboxylic co-monomer, styrene and butadiene as monomer, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium salt of lauryl sulfonate as anionic emulsifiers, and nonylphenoxy poly (ethyleneoxy) ethanol (n=10, 20, 40) as latex stabilizer. Potassium persulfate and sodium bisulfite were also used as redox initiator, and sodium monohydrogen phosphate and potassium carbonate as electrolytes. The effects of categories and concentration of carboxylic co-monomer, molecular weight control agent, crosslinking agent, and styrene/ butadiene monomer ratio on the characteristics of latex were investigated. Polymerization recipes for preparation of polymer cement mortar could be proposed. The prepared latexes were tested for the physical properties such as compressive and flexural strength when latexes were mixed with cement mortar. The results showed that the latex could be adapted to polymer cement mortar. Also, it was recognized that the compressive and flexural strength were exhibited 25.4% and 45.3% respectively higher improvement than the quality standards at 28 days curing time.
