History of Polymer Concrete

In general, polymers and polymer products have been considered since 1990 and in this year for the first time the consumption of polymers in terms of volume was more than iron. As mentioned above, one of the most widely used materials in construction is concrete. The reason for this volume is the use of concrete, the appropriate cost, the convenience of use and the high strength that it creates in the structure, but due to defects such as the possibility of freezing and cracking, destruction due to the presence of corrosive chemicals and such things, steel was used to arm the concrete, and then the use of chemical materials and compounds such as polymers to improve the performance of concrete was considered. Was. The use of polymer along with concrete promoted the properties of concrete in construction. These types of concretes also performed better than cement concrete and therefore have many applications today. Polymer concretes in particular have been widely used since the 1950's.

Solid-state polymedic concretes

Solid polymer concretes or polymer composites are low-weight materials but high resistance to atmospheric factors and suitable reactions against loads on structures that were used for the first time during World War II . 

Solid Polymer Concrete Applications

1.For buildings that are highly exposed to corrosive substances

2.Advanced structures for installing radars

3.In buildings where quality control is very important

4.In the construction of satellites

5.To build large antennas

Non-solid state polymedic concrete types

Non-solid polymer concretes are produced based on the polymerization process. Polymerization means connecting monomer units to each other, which are converted into strands or molecular networks of surface or space and have a high molecular weight that forms the polymer. The types of polymer concrete formed under this process belong to one of the following categories: 

1.Polymer-charged concretes: These concretes are charged by a monomer system and are ready to react, which is also polymerized at the required location.

2.Polymer-Cement Concretes: These concretes contain a monomer that adds fresh concrete to the water mixture and is then polymerized in place.

3.PC Polymer Concretes: These concretes are composed of a mixture of pebbles and filler materials in monomers and will then be polymerized in place .

4.Sulfur polymer concrete: This type of concrete consists of a mixture of sulfur concrete whose properties are modified by polymeric materials.

Applications of polymer concrete

So far, we are well acquainted with the types of polymer concrete and how to make them, but you may be asked what kinds of polymer concrete are used more often in what structures? These types of concrete can be used in different cases because each polymeric compound creates different properties in concrete, but the most important applications of polymeric concrete are:

1.Use on bridges and roads

2.For repair and reconstruction of concrete structures

3.In the construction of structures that are exposed to atmospheric corrosive materials

4.Manufacturing a variety of chemical storage tanks

5.On the walls of tunnels
