This work utilized Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) redispersible polymer powder as additive in the class G cement to characterize bonding ability. Tensile strength was measured for samples cured at 90 °C for 3 days, whereas compressive strength was measured for samples cured at 120 °C for 1 day and 3 days under atmospheric pressure. The results showed that, with the addition of beyond 10 by weight of cement (BWOC) of polymer, not only tensile strength was improved, but also reduced young's modulus. Addition of EVA additive beyond 10 BWOC showed significant benefit of flexibility in the cement system. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) indicated that presence of high VA (Vinyl Acetate) has no effect on polymerization of Silicates, which shows it does not hider in the formation of Câ??Sâ??H phase. Intensity of chemical bond augmented with longer curing time and increased polymer content, as seen in Oâ??H stretching vibration at 3434 cmâ??1 and from Carboxylate anion at 1571 cmâ??1 to confirm on hydrolysis. Mercury Intrusion porosimeter (MIP) showed significant reduction in fraction of mesopore sizes within the cement matrix, with the polymer addition. © 2021 Chinese Petroleum Society IS - 3 ER -
