Chemistry and Technology of Thermosetting Polymers in Construction Applications

The aim of this text is provide specific, detailed information on the use of polymeric materials in the construction sector. As such coverage of the important chemical details are confined to an introductory chapter, and the main chapters cover the uses of the specific materials, the technology of application and their strengths and weaknesses. The chapters are arranged in order of volume usage, and wherever possible standard specifications are presented. In addition, some useful testing standards are quoted in an appendix.
