Polymers in Concrete

Edited by: José Aguiar and Lech Czarnecki

Online since: January 2011

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The field of “polymers in concrete” is rather well consolidated within the construction industry, and its future will be one of benefiting fully from the synergy between the organic and mineral materials. Concrete-polymer composites (C-PC) exhibit excellent adhesion strength and durability in aggressive environments and the good performance of these materials makes innovative applications possible; including new technologies for restoring and renovating buildings.
