Abstract:
The effect of furfuryl alcohol addition to ordinary cement on its properties, such as heat of hydration, setting time, compressive strength, and tensile strength was studied by adding 0.5–3.0% by weight of cement. Hardness was tested using the Vickers indentation method. Fracture toughness of cementitious bond and bending strength were determined using the three-point bending system. Corrosion resistance of resulting products was tested against 0.1 and 1.0 N HCI and H 2 SO 4 and seawater, respectively. Water absorption/open porosity and microstructure were also determined. It was observed that strength, hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance increase up to 3.0% addition of furfuryl alcohol in ordinary Portland cement. Polymeric phase was interspersed in cement, causing a decrease in water absorption/open porosity, and its interaction with hydrating cement caused additional bond formation, leading to the increase in strength.
