Polymer concrete as construction materials

초록

Since 1950s, there has been increasing interest on concrete-polymer composites as new construction materials in the construction industry. The concrete-polymer composites, typically, can be classified into three types in terms of principles of the process technology, i.e. polymer cement concrete, polymer concrete, and polymer impregnated concrete. Among them, the polymer concrete is well known for its versatile and beneficial structural applications compared to the other types. In this paper, physical and mechanical properties, product applications, economic analysis, and environmental effects of the polymer concrete will be mainly addressed. Furthermore, anticipated prospect of the polymer concrete in the construction market will be also discussed. © 2010 Soc. Mater. Eng. Resour.
