Polymers in Concrete

Subtitle:

Special Topic Volume with Invited Peer Reviewed Papers only

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.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Civil engineers, materials scientists, and related professionals describe how concrete/polymer composites are being used in construction because of their excellent adhesion strength and durability in aggressive environments. Among the topics are shrinkage properties of polymer-modified cement mortars, evaluating the hydration of Portland cement modified with polyvinyl alcohol and nano clay, the mechanical behavior and thermal conductivity of mortars with waste plastic particles, polymer-modified mortars for corrosion protection at offshore wind energy converters, the effect of concrete hydrophobation against chloride penetration, and advanced seismic countermeasures for concrete bridges using polymer in Japan.
