Tel.: +48-532-720-966 (W.K.); +48-56-611-2210 (E.O.-K.) Abstract: The modern types of concrete are a mixture of aggregates, cement, water and optional additives and admixtures. In particular, polymer additives seem to be a promising type of component that can significantly change concrete and mortar properties.
