Effect of mineral admixture type on rheological properties of polymeric self-consolidating mortar [Kendiliǧinden yerleşen polimerik harçlarda mineral katkinin reolojik özeliklere etkisi]

Polymer matrix composites are gaining popularity for construction,air-space structures and automobile constructions due to their symmetrical and balanced material properties and their ease of production and use. one of the polymeric materials that make up the new application area is epoxy based self-consolidating mortar. these mortars are widely used in the construction industry,especially in surface coatings in building constructions. both to reduce the high costs and to increase the strengths of these materials applied to the surface,it is being investigated the use of the waste materials as a filler which cause environmental pollution. in this study,the rheological properties such as viscosity,spreading diameter and setting of epoxy based selfcompacting mortars produced by using blast furnace slag,fly ash,silica fume,limestone dust and natural sand have been characterized. according to the results of the experiment,the use of mineral admixtures with high surface area has been decreased the workability of polymer-based mortars.
