Influence of the ratio of styrene and acrylonitrile in crosslinked polymeric binders for use in high‐temperature polymer concrete composites

Abstract

SynopsisThe feasibility of using a monomer composition based on a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer as a binder in high-strength and chemically resistant polymer concrete was demonstrated earlier. From this work it is clear that properties of the polymer concrete composite are dependent on the styrene/acrylonitrile ratio. This paper deals with the study of the effect of the styrene/acrylonitrile ratio in styrene-acrylonitrile-acrylamide-trimethylolpropme trimethacrylate monomer formulations on the thermomechanical properties of polymer concrete composites.
