Abstract

This study was performed to facilitate the handling of solid monomers for commercial usage and to confirm the belief that these monomers can be incorporated into aggregates to produce high-strength, chemically resident, and thermally stable PC (polymer concrete). In the monomer system mentioned, the curing temperature is 60/sup 0/C. Evidently at this temperature the Aa (acrylamide) or MAa (methacrylamide) dissolves in the surrounding liquid monomer before polymerization occurs. There appears to be no segregation of constituents. However, thorough mixing of the solid monomer is essential for a good particle distribution, otherwise the desired ratio of monomers to form complete copolymers will not be achieved. It can be seen in the thermal analysis, and physical properties, that both hot and room-temperature methods of preparation can be used to produce the same product.
