Abstract (EN): An investigation on the influence of thermal effects on flexural strength of two different binder formulations of polymer mortars was performed, by considering specimens of polyester and epoxy polymer mortars, and a wide range of temperatures. The strength degradation process occurring in the material, as a consequence of positive thermal fatigue cycles (+20degreesC / +100degreesC) and freeze-thaw cycles (-10degreesC / +10degreesC), was also quantified and analysed.
