Frontiers in the Use of Polymers
Also Known As:
ACI SP-278:2011 is a collection of nine papers sponsored by ACI Committee 548. The papers discuss the increasing utilization of polymers in concrete applications over the past 20 years. The use of polymers in concrete has expanded from crack repair with epoxy to the use of polymer concrete overlays for bridge deck protection.
The papers provide valuable insights into the current state of research and development in polymer concrete and highlight new trends that will shape the industry in the future. The topics covered include viscoelastic behavior of concrete with super absorbent polymers, the use of water-soluble polymers as self-curing agents, economical bridge overlays using waste latex paint, polymer modified hydrated cement paste, performance aspects of fibrous LMC overlays, moisture transport and shrinkage stress in polymer-based repair materials, state of practice for polymer concrete overlays, latex modified mortar incorporating carbon nanotubes, and rapid concrete bridge deck overlays.
This standard serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals involved in the polymer concrete industry, providing them with the latest information on the use of polymers and offering guidance for future advancements in the field.
