In this paper a styrene–acrylate copolymer (SAE) powder was used to modify Portland cement paste. The concentration of the products of hydration was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Also the physical and chemical interactions occurring in the modification process were studied using Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The results show that the addition of SAE powder facilitates the formation of ettringite (AFt). The hydration product tetracalcium aluminate hydrate (C4AH13) begins to appear in the cement paste after 7days, its formation slightly decreases with an increase in the SAE powder–cement ratio (mp/mc). Single-sulfur hydrated calcium sulphoaluminate (AFm) is also found in the cement paste beginning after 7days; however its content is very small. Also as the mp/mcis increased the amount of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in the hydrating cement paste decreases, this effect is more pronounced at earlier ages. FTIR analysis indicates that Ca2+–carboxyl complexes form during the hydration of cement paste containing SAE powder.
