Polymer impregnation has been proven to increase environmental and mechanical resistance of tuff (a soft volcanic rock), suggesting its potential applicaiton for restoration of monuments or reinforcement of structures. The influence of monomer viscosity and applied pressure on the penetration rate of the liquid into pores, the monomer evaporation from the pores, and the effect of the curing temperature on the polymerization rate were studied. The data are analyzed in terms of the existing phenomenological or analytical models. The results can be used to develop a practical and economical large-scale process.

Abstract
Polymer impregnation has been proven to increase environmental and mechanical resistance of tuff (a soft volcanic rock), suggesting its potential applicaiton for restoration of monuments or reinforcement of structures. The influence of monomer viscosity and applied pressure on the penetration rate of the liquid into pores, the monomer evaporation from the pores, and the effect of the curing temperature on the polymerization rate were studied. The data are analyzed in terms of the existing phenomenological or analytical models. The results can be used to develop a practical and economical large-scale process.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
