Specifically, styrene\u2013butadiene rubber (SBR) latex was employed as an admixture to produce SBR-modified cementitious mixtures, and their fresh properties were experimentally investigated to determine the feasibility of their use in the 3DAC process. The SBR\/cement ratio was controlled based on four main materials (i.e., cement, sand, silica fume, and fly ash) in order to determine the optimal fresh properties. The test results revealed that the SBR-modified cementitious mixtures showed excellent flowability, extrudability, buildability, and open time, all of which are required for 3DAC materials. The optimal flow of the SBR-modified cementitious mixtures was 70% \u00b1 1%, which is appropriate for 3DAC applications. According to the experiment results, the SBR-modified cementitious mixtures were sufficiently competitive to serve as a new class of materials for 3D additive construction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym11081321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,7]],"date-time":"2019-08-07T10:56:38Z","timestamp":1565175398000},"page":"1321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Feasibility Study of SBR-Modified Cementitious Mixtures for Use as 3D Additive Construction Materials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Kwan Kyu","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"North Gyeonggi Branch, Joongbu Division, Korea Conformity Laboratories, Pocheon, Gyeonggi 11184, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3603-8305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaeheum","family":"Yeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering and Technology, Texas A&amp;M University-Commerce, Commerce, TX 75429, USA"}]},{"given":"Hee Jun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regional Infrastructure Engineering, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon, Gangwon 24341, Korea"}]},{"given":"Kyu-Seok","family":"Yeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Regional Infrastructure Engineering, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon, Gangwon 24341, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"136","DOI":"10.1108\/13552540610670717","article-title":"Advances in Three-Dimensional Printing\u2014State of the Art and Future Perspectives","volume":"12","author":"Dimitrove","year":"2006","journal-title":"Rapid Prototyp.
