Examples of slurries include: Cement slurry, a mixture of cement, water, and assorted dry and liquid additives used in the petroleum and other industries [1] [2]; Soil/cement slurry, also called Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM), flowable fill, controlled density fill, flowable mortar, plastic soil-cement, K-Krete, and other names [3]
The polymers used as plasticizers exhibit surfactant properties. They are often ionomers bearing negatively charged groups ( sulfonates , carboxylates , or phosphonates ...). They function as dispersants to minimize particles segregation in fresh concrete (separation of the cement slurry and water from the coarse and fine aggregates such as ...
Synthetic polymers such as acrylic are manufactured from chemical feedstocks such as acetone, hydrogen cyanide, ethylene, isobutylene, and other petroleum derivatives. The polymer products cannot be fully recycled (using present technology or any that can be confidently expected to be developed), so new raw materials, taken from the finite and ...
The adoption of a thinset mortar based installation method has led to an expansion in the usage of ceramic tiles throughout the latter half of the 20th century. [3] Further, It is particularly popular among mosaicists for outdoor applications. [4] Thinset is generally available in two types: unmodified and modified (polymer-modified).
The elastic modulus (Young's modulus) of a filled polymer can be found using the equation below: E = E 0 (1 + 2.5Φ + 14.1Φ 2) [13] where: E 0 = Modulus of unfilled resin or binder Φ = Filler concentration. Polymers with smaller additions of filler follow this equation closely. In general addition of filler materials will increase the modulus.
Polymer concrete is a type of concrete that uses a polymer to replace lime-type cements as a binder. One specific type is epoxy granite, where the polymer used is exclusively epoxy. In some cases the polymer is used in addition to portland cement to form Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) or Polymer Modified Concrete (PMC). [1]
Mortar holding weathered bricks. Mortar is a workable paste which hardens to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units, to fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, spread the weight of them evenly, and sometimes to add decorative colours or patterns to masonry walls.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (commonly called by its DuPont brand name, Teflon) is a polymer that is used as a coating for non-stick cookware. The polymer is a polyethylene chain with fluorine atoms replacing the hydrogen atoms. The strength of the carbon-fluorine bonds makes it nonreactive to most things.
