New trends in concrete-polymer composite materials and systems

Appropriate combination of polymers and classical construction materials provides opportunities for innovative applications and systems, for improved performance and for increased durability. Particularly in restoration and retrofitting, polymer based materials highly contribute to sustainable construction activity. This paper highlights the innovations, new approaches and durability assessments, presented at t...

New trends in concrete-polymers composite materials and systems

Polymers, representing 1 % only of building materials used in construction industry, have a major impact on performance of materials and systems due to their synergic action with cementitious materials. Appropriate combination of polymers and classical construction materials provides opportunities for innovative applications and systems, for improved performance and for increased durability. Particularly in res...

Contribution to a ranking procedure for polymeric caotings and hydrophobic agen...

One of the possible ways to protect the concrete is using coatings and hydrophobic agents that act as a barrier against the environment. When selecting the material for concrete protection, importance should be given to these properties of diffusion and permeability. The coatings and the hydrophobic agents must stop the penetration of water and delay the influence of aggressive agents, allowing the structure to...

Ranking procedure for polymeric coatings and hydrophobic agents for concrete pr...

A ranking procedure, developed by Czarnecki and Lukowski, is applied on a series of concrete protection products. The ranking procedure is applied to evaluate durability experiments, carried out on some commercially available silicone, acrylic and epoxy compounds for surface treatment of concrete. The ranking procedure transforms experimental data of properties into one numerical value, by which the products ca...
