Feasibility studies on nondestructive incorporation of a conducting polymer anode bed into bridge deck concrete Hettiarachchi, Samson ; Asaro, Marianna F
Publication details: Washington DC Strategic Highway Research Program, 1991; SHRP-ID/UFR-91-517, Description: 21 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI P1388:517Location: Abstract: This feasibility study on the nondestructive incorporation of a conducting polymer anode bed into bridge deck concrete showed that incorporating polymers into concrete by both chemical and electrochemical approaches is feasible. It appears, however, that the lateral growth of conducting polymers to form an anode bed requires carefully controlled electrochemical oxidation of the monomer in the concrete matrix.Holdings: VTI P1388:517
