- Abstract:
- In our long-term research, the strength and physical characteristics of concretes with unsaturated polyester binder and their influencing factors are specified. This study is intended to determine how the values of compression strength and flexural strength are affected by the mixing temperature. Our experiments show, that the compression strength of polymer concrete is significantly decreased just by low temperatures (close to the melting point of catalyst). Flexural strength is not affected significantly by temperature. The reasons for this discrepancy should be further examined later on, by taking into consideration the factors influencing polyester polymerization.
