Acrylic polymer that is highly stable against chemicals and is a good choice when concrete is subject to chemical attack. In this study, self-compacting concrete (SCC) made using acrylic polymer, nanosilica and microsilica has been investigated. The results of experimental testing showed that the addition of microsilica and acrylic polymer decreased the tensile, compressive and bending strength...

The prospect of nano-photocatalysts in cementitious systems is promising but the engineering application still limited, caused by insufficient insights on durability properties during service. Mortars with different binders and photocatalysts are prepared characterized to investigate deterioration mechanisms self-cleaning performance upon simultaneous hydration/carbonation. Alterations driven c...
