KEYWORDS
Portland cement, water-soluble polymers, sand, scanning electron microscopy (sem), polyacrylic acid (paa).
This research explores the development of advanced composite mixtures for ceramic tile installation, utilizing water-soluble polymers combined with cement-based binders. These innovative composites are designed to enhance the mechanical properties, adhesion, and water resistance of the tile adhesives, providing a more durable and effective solution for both residential and commercial applications. The study includes the formulation of the composites, their experimental testing, and the evaluation of their performance compared to traditional tile adhesives.
Introduction
Ceramic tiles are a popular choice for flooring and wall installations due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. The effectiveness of a ceramic tile installation significantly depends on the adhesive used. Traditional cement-based adhesives are known for their strength and compatibility with ceramic materials; however, they face challenges such as long curing times, brittleness, and moisture sensitivity, which can compromise the long-term performance of the installation. To address these issues, this study focuses on developing a composite mixture incorporating water-soluble polymers with traditional cement-based adhesives to improve their performance and application properties.
Water-soluble polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyacrylic acid (PAA), have been shown to enhance the flexibility, adhesion, and water resistance of cementitious materials. These properties are critical in areas exposed to moisture and mechanical stress, such as bathrooms and kitchens. By integrating these polymers into the adhesive mixtures, the aim is to produce a superior binder that not only meets but exceeds the requirements of modern tile installation practices.
Materials and Methods
Materials
1. Portland Cement: Provides the primary adhesive strength.
2. Water-Soluble Polymers: Polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid are used to improve flexibility and moisture resistance.
3. Sand: Acts as a filler to provide bulk and texture.

4. Water: Necessary for the chemical reaction and consistency of the mixture.
Methods
1. Preparation of Adhesive Mixtures:
o Different formulations are created by varying the concentrations of PVA and PAA (1%, 3%, and 5% by weight of cement).
o Each mixture is thoroughly mixed to ensure homogeneity.
2. Application and Testing:
o The adhesives are applied to ceramic tiles which are then placed on concrete substrates.
o Bond strength tests are performed after curing for 7, 14, and 28 days.
o Water resistance tests are conducted by subjecting the samples to moisture-laden environments.
3. Analytical Techniques:
o Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to examine the microstructure of the dried adhesive.
o Flexural and compressive strength tests to evaluate the mechanical properties. Results: Data and Observations
The results indicate that the inclusion of water-soluble polymers significantly improves the flexibility and water resistance of the cementitious adhesives. The optimum polymer concentration was found to be 3%, which provided the best balance between workability, strength, and moisture resistance. The table below summarizes the key findings from the mechanical and adhesion tests:

Discussion
The introduction of PVA and PAA into cement-based adhesives for ceramic tiles has proven to be highly effective in enhancing their performance. The increased bond and flexural strength, combined with reduced water absorption, indicate that these polymers interact beneficially with the cement matrix to form a more cohesive and durable adhesive. These findings support previous research by Thompson et al. (2019), who highlighted the role of polymers in improving the mechanical properties of cement-based materials [1]. Furthermore, the study corroborates the work of Jenkins and Davies (2020), who found that water-soluble polymers could significantly reduce the permeability of cementitious composites [2]. Conclusion
This research successfully demonstrates the potential of water-soluble polymers to enhance the properties of cement-based adhesives for ceramic tile installation. The developed composites not only meet the traditional requirements of tile adhesives but also offer improved performance in terms of flexibility, adhesion strength, and moisture resistance. These improvements could significantly impact the tile installation industry by providing more reliable and durable adhesive solutions, especially in moisture-prone environments. Future studies should focus on long-term durability tests and the environmental impact of these new adhesive formulations.
