The uses of polymers for various structural applications are gaining popularity throughout the World. In this study, three different types of polymers are added to cement mortars, and then these mortars are cured under three different cure conditions. Thus, it is aimed to investigate their mechanical contributions to mortars and to determine the most suitable cure condition for polymer modified concrete, comparatively. SBR, PSBR, MAD polymers are chosen as polymers. These polymers are added into the mortars in five different ratios (0.0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) by volume and the mortars are cured under three different conditions that watering twice a day (FCC), 16 hours in the water - 8 hours out (SCC), one day in the water - one day out (TCC). The mortars modified with MAD polymer show the best performance for chosen polymer addition ratios and also FCC is the most suitable cure condition
