Advanced Polymer Concretes and Compounds - Oleg Figovsky - Bog

This book presents the results of theoretical and experimental research on novel concretes and protective compounds based on advanced polymer binders. It explores the present state of the field, including applications, characteristics, durability, and environmental impact associated with polymer concretes. The text examines two new polymers, namely, rubber concrete based on polybutadiene binder (RubCon) and silicate polymer concrete based on organo-silicate binder (OSPC) as well as novel polymer and silicate polymer coatings for corrosion and fire protection. It reflects the newest developments in the rapidly growing field of building materials engineering.
