Microstructure and pore structure of polymer-cement composite joint sealants

Basic properties of pore structures Pore size distribution of the polymer-cement composite joint sealants is closely associated with their macro-mechanical properties21, and with such durability indicators as anti-permeability and corrosion resistance. Based on the MIP results, this section analyzes the basic pore structure properties of the joint sealants by using the differential curves for pore […]
