Portland cement concrete (PCC) has been successful in many applications. However, since
the 1960s technological investigations concerning modifications of concrete by polymeric …

Polymer concrete (PC) has several advantages when comparing with Portland Cement
Concrete (PCC), but its brittle failure characteristics have limited its usefulness for load …

In this work, the effects of waste polymer particles and gamma radiation on the mechanical
properties of polyester mortars were studied. Control mortar was elaborated with polyester …

In this chapter is discussed the importance of using gamma radiation as a novel technology
for recycling of polyester resin, and their applications in composite materials. In the …

The amount of plastic waste generated is causing damage to the environment, such as sea
and soil pollution, and one of the alternatives for disposing of polymers is recycling. This …

Global development demand new technological creations at less costs. Inside the
specialized industry, composite materials usage is well known. That is why it is of major …

Effects of gamma radiation and the polypropylene fibers on compressive properties of
polymer concrete composites (PC) were studied. The PCs had a composition of 30 wt% of …

The well-known key problem with concrete is that its compressive strength and the
compression modulus are insufficient for a variety of applications. Our polymer concrete …

To improve the mechanical and thermal properties of materials, alternative posttreatments
have been proposed. One of these posttreatments is based on the use of ionizing radiation …

This study aims to improve different properties of sustainable self-compacting concrete SCC
containing treated and modified polyethylene terephthalate PET fibers. For this purpose …
