Assessment of Physical-Mechanical Properties of Polymer Adhesive Materials

This paper deals with the problematics of polymer adhesive mortars. In this study, the vinyl ester and epoxy resins filled with siliceous filler were used. This paper studies physical-mechanical properties of developed mortars. The compressive strength, flexural strength, and abrasion resistance. The maximum filling ratio for each mortar was found while preserving the applicability in masonry way (by spatula). The results show that the amine-based epoxy mortar exhibits lower physical-mechanical properties than the vinylester-based adhesive mortar, except for the abrasion resistance, in which the epoxy-based composite has achieved significantly better results
