摘要

In less than a century, concrete has become the most commonly used construction material worldwide. Today, it is difficult to imagine concrete entirely devoid of polymers. The implantation of polymers into concrete has taken effect in the form of Concrete Polymer Composite [C-PC = PMC + PCC + PIC + PC]. Several milestones are recognised in the development of C-PC. They are discussed here with particular emphasis on the innovative milestones that shaped the use of polymers in concrete. As the difference between polymer cement concrete and ordinary concrete diminishes, the question: “What should the paradigm of C-PC development be?” arises.
