In the work described herein the monomer was impregnated into cement mortar and polymerized by two methods - the conventional thermal method and using microwaves. The mechanical properties and durability characteristics of the samples and on exposure to chemical environments were then evaluated. The above studies revealed that the strengths of PIC specimens were almost 2-3 times better than those of conventional cement mortars. The chemical resistance was also found to be superior even on prolonged exposure to the chemical media. This may be attributed to the protective layer formed by the polymer on the cement mortar, which prevents the external chemical media from interacting with the cement particles. The properties of the PIC specimens prepared by both methods have also been compared and discussed in this paper.

Concrete is a versatile and widely used construction material in civil engineering. Its record of durability has been remarkable espe- cially when exposed to extreme environments [1,2]. However, there are phenomena that can produce considerable damage to concrete if proper precautions are not taken. The advent of industrialization has led to
