  • Abstract
The surface of modified EPS can be changed from the character of water-repellent to hydrophilic,and be wetted by freshly mixed portland cement paste.A new thermal insulating mortar with good properties of workability,thermal insulation,climate-resisting and crack-resisting can be made modified EPS as light aggregate and cement as binder,and modified with fiber and polymer.This new type of insulating mortar can be used as exterior wall thermal insulation,which breaks the limitation of traditional insulating mortar only as interior insulation.It has been widely used in civil engineering.
