Mechanical Properties of Polymer Concrete

الملخص EN

Polymer concrete was introduced in the late 1950s and became well known in the 1970s for its use in repair, thin overlays and floors, and precast components.

Because of its properties like high compressive strength, fast curing, high specific strength, and resistance to chemical attacks polymer concrete has found application in very specialized domains.

Simultaneously these materials have been used in machine construction also where the vibration damping property of polymer concrete has been exploited.

This review deals with the efforts of various researchers in selection of ingredients, processing parameters, curing conditions, and their effects on the mechanical properties of the resulting material.
