Plastic-concrete composite

What do bamboo stalks, mud bricks, steel-belted radial tires, fiberglass fishing rods, reinforced concrete, and the heat tiles on a space shuttle have in common The answer is that these materials are all composites. A composite is a material consisting of two or more components with overall properties different from and superior to either or any one of the individual components. For example, many pleasure boats today have hulls made of a composite material called reinforced plastic that contains glass, plastic, carbon, or some other type of fiber embedded in plastic. The composite material is stronger, more durable, and less dense than the fibers or plastics of which it is made.

While PC, latex emulsion concrete, and caulking compositions represent only a small percentage of the entire plastics business, they are one of the most important to the construction industry. The American construction industry has been dependent on plastic sealants and caulking compositions but has been slow to accept plastic concrete. Fortunately, the latter has been successfully used for many years in other countries and it is now being accepted in the U.S. 

The effects of the influence of NS at their interaction into liquid medium depend on the type of NS, their content in the medium and medium nature. Depending on the material modified, FS of NS based on different media are used. Water and water solutions of surface-active substances, plasticizers, foaming agents (when modifying foam concretes) are applied as such media to modify silicate, gypsum, cement and concrete compositions. To modify epoxy compounds and glues based on ERs the media based on polyethylene polyamine, isomethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride, toluene and alcohol—acetone solutions are applied.

The driven pile is the oldest and most widely used deep foundation system. Piles are normally columns made of wood, concrete, steel or plastic. They could also be composites such as concrete-filled steel pipe or plastic-steel composite, which are driven into the ground.

Although plastics and composites may appear to some observers to be new, because the industry has an unlimited capacity to produce new plastics to meet new performance and processing requirements, plastics and composites have been used in no-load to extremely high-load situations for over a century. The ever-evolving technology does not mean that plastics and composites will automatically replace other materials. Each material (plastics, metals, wood, aluminum, and so forth) will, basically, be used in favorable cost-to-performance situations. As of the early 1980s, more plastics were used worldwide on a volumetric basis than any other materials except wood and concrete. Before the end of this century there will be on a weight basis more plastics used than the others, except wood and concrete.

Concrete, Plaster, and Related Products According to the claims of some patents, formaldehyde and its derivatives have A alue in the preparation of concrete, plaster, etc. Griffiths describes the use of aqueous formaldehyde as an addition agent in a concrete mix. A cellular cement, concrete, or plaster is produced by adding to the mix sodium carbonate, saponin, formaldehyde, and water. Compositions for addition to plaster work and the like to make it impermeable to liquids and grease are described by Bauer as containing water, formaldehyde, potassium dichromate, hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride and feme chloride.
