Advantages of Mortar Incorporating Redispersible Latex Powder
In mortar, polymers serve as a secondary binder that complements the inorganic cement binder. The dual cement–redispersible polymer powder system leverages the respective advantages of each constituent, resulting in excellent synergy and complementary performance that enhances the mortar’s bond strength.

Factors Affecting the Permeability of Porous Concrete
Pervious concrete is a type of porous, lightweight concrete made by mixing coarse aggregate, cement, and water. It contains no fine aggregate; instead, the surfaces of the coarse aggregate are coated with a thin layer of cement paste that binds the particles together, forming a honeycomb-like structure with uniformly distributed pores. As a result, pervious concrete exhibits air permeability, water permeability, and low weight.

Redispersible latex powder is a crucial admixture that significantly influences the performance of thick-layer gypsum-based self-leveling mortars. This study investigates the impact of redispersible latex powder on the physical and mechanical properties of such mortars and, through microstructural analysis, elucidates the mechanisms by which it enhances their mechanical performance, thereby demonstrating the substantial role of redispersible latex powder in gypsum-based self-leveling systems.
