“…Enhancement in compressive strength up to 30% has been reported by addition of 15% fly ash in polymer concrete [41]. Addition of fly ash is also reported to have better performance enhancement when compared to addition of silica fume as a filler [42]. Heat assisted drying of the aggregates before mixing with resin has been suggested by most of the researchers.…”

Polymer concrete was introduced in the late 1950s and became well known in the 1970s for its use in repair, thin overlays and floors, and precast components. Because of its properties like high compressive strength, fast curing, high specific strength, and resistance to chemical attacks polymer concrete has found application in very specialized domains. Simultaneously these materials have been used in machine construction also where the vibration damping property of polymer concrete has been exploited. This review deals with the efforts of various researchers in selection of ingredients, processing parameters, curing conditions, and their effects on the mechanical properties of the resulting material.

“…Polymer concrete (PC) is a polymer composite material in which the binder is a polymer. It is used in numerous applications because of its advantages over ordinary Portland cement concrete, which include high strength and durability, fast curing time, very good adhesion properties, resistance to chemical attack, and good sound and thermal insulation properties . PCs are used in the production of a variety of products, such as precast members, structures, acid tanks, manholes, drains, highway median barriers, and coating or repair materials, in the chemical and food industries …”

In this paper, first we investigated the effects of the amount of crushed basalt aggregates on the compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength of a polymer concrete (PC) obtained by epoxy resin. We found that increasing the amount of epoxy resin to the basalt aggregates to 25 wt% improved mechanical properties of the concrete. After determining the optimum weight percentage of basalt in epoxy, the mechanical properties of the optimized PC were experimentally investigated at three different temperatures: 50 C, 75 C, and 100 C. Our results indicate that as the temperature increases, the highest maximum stress rapidly decreases, but the yield displacement increases significantly. Moreover, the PC sample became barrel shaped under compression stress because of its ductility at high temperatures. Afterwards, effects of four different aggregate sizes, 3-5 mm, 1.2-3 mm, 0.6-1.2 mm, and microsized particles, on mechanical properties of the optimized PC were experimentally studied. We found that, the larger aggregate size outcomes higher compressive strength and lower flexural and splitting tensile strength. Finally, an empirical model for the relationships between compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural stress was derived that can be used to predict the strength of PCs.

“…The flexibility and strength levels are improved by these long polymer chains. Also, the properties of PC depend highly on the types and contents of the resin, shape and size of the aggregate, filler type, and curing conditions [3][4][5].…”

This study experimentally investigated the deformability characteristics of bisphenol A-type epoxy resin-based polymer concrete produced using two types of hardener and four types of filler. In particular, the basic properties of epoxy resin polymer concrete, including the modulus of elasticity, setting shrinkage, and thermal expansion, were experimentally investigated to obtain basic data for evaluating compatibility and dimensional stability. The properties of the epoxy resin polymer concrete were determined when different types of hardener and filler were employed. Differences in deformability can be identified based on these properties. In the present study, the setting shrinkage, coefficient of thermal expansion, and modulus of elasticity were lowest when fly ash was employed as one of the four fillers. Hence, it is advantageous to use fly ash as a repair material for ordinary Portland cement concrete structures. Therefore, the results of this study will be helpful when selecting the types of hardener and filler needed to tailor the epoxy resin polymer concrete produced to be suitable for a particular application.
