Volume Stability of Polymer-Silicate Based Materials Exposed to High Temperatures

Abstract:

This paper presents research into analysing the volume stability of composite materials based on a polymer-cement matrix. The attention was paid to the influence of extreme temperatures shocks. Materials of modified composition were gradually exposed to extreme temperatures and then cooled in furnaces. Cooling was carried out by two different ways, i.e. slow and rapid. Emphasis was placed on the aggregate type used – fine lightweight and dense. Also available materials from alternative resources which have positive effect on thermal stability of composites based on silicate matrix were considered.
