Özet

Polymer materials are used in different engineering applicationsbecause of their ex-cellent engineering properties. Theuse of thesematerials in different engineering fields has increased in recent years. It is predicted that polymermaterials will be one ofthemost remarkable and popular engineering materials in the near future becauseof their unique properties. This paper focuses on Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP), which is oneof the main catalysts and investigate its effect on the mechani-cal properties of Polymer Concrete (PC).The main aimsof the study are to under-stand the mechanical properties of the polymer concreteincluding different amount of MEKP and to investigate the influence of MEKP on the mechanicalcharacteriza-tions of the PCs. For this purpose, five different samples containing 0.15%(Mixture-1), 0.25% (Mixture-2), 0.35% (Mixture-3), 0.45% (Mixture-4) and 0.55% (Mixture-5) MEKP ofthe total weight were prepared and some experimental studieswere per-formed on the prepared mixtures.The obtained strength values were discussed and evaluated effect of MEKP on mechanical properties ofPCs.
