Research status and prospect of epoxy resin concrete
This paper provides an overview of the classification and composition of epoxy resins,summarizing the types of common curing agents and additives along with their advantages and disadvantages.It reviews the cu-ring mechanisms of epoxy resins and methods for toughness modification,summarizing the effects of different modi-fication techniques.The current research status of epoxy concrete performance is examined from three aspects:po-rosity,mechanical strength,and chemical corrosion resistance.Finally,the paper highlights existing issues and shortcomings of epoxy resin concrete in engineering applications,and suggests further research directions to address these issues.The research results indicate that toughness modification techniques for epoxy resins remain a hot topic for further study.As a type of polymer concrete material,epoxy resin concrete can significantly enhance the me-chanical properties and durability of concrete,demonstrating great application potential in engineering fields.How-ever,high costs are a key factor limiting the widespread use of epoxy resin concrete.
