Polymer Concrete

Polymer concrete is a composite material that consist og inorganic aggregates bonded together by a resin binder.The material can be used effectively in a variety of structural applications such as as transportasion , utility , marine , an building components.

An unsaturated polyester based on the polyester oligomer was prepared by Tong et al.(ref.13).Physical properties of reinforced polyester concrete using recycled PET were investigated by REBEIZ et al.the author have been long enganged in produsing an effective ppltmer concrete from reclaim PET and in its application because the letter is a major component in unsaturated polyester resins.A new type of Polyester concrete composite is developed by mixing an unsaturated polyester resin from reclaim Pet products with Portland cement . sand and water in proportions similar to those used for cement mortar materials for construction purposes.this Polymer concrete exhibits a high strength of up to 83 MPa in compressive strength sn 21 Mpa in flexural stenght*
