Title: Innovations by Jong Ken Kim in Concrete Repair Technologies
Introduction
Jong Ken Kim is a notable inventor based in Seoul, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of concrete repair technologies, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on innovative methods to enhance the durability and longevity of reinforced concrete structures.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Method for repairing aged reinforced concrete structure using surface-penetration reinforcing agent." This invention discloses a surface-penetration reinforcing agent that effectively repairs damaged reinforced concrete structures. The agent comprises a silicate compound, an acrylate monomer, an amine compound, and a silane compound as reactants. The method allows for efficient repairs based on the aging grade of the concrete, taking into account factors such as corrosion of reinforcing bars and the degree of carbonation.
Another significant patent is the "Penetration reinforcing agent for preventing aging of concrete and process for preparing the same." This agent is prepared using an inorganic silicate compound with an ethoxy or methoxy group and a monomer with a hydroxyl (OH) group. When applied to concrete surfaces, it penetrates and hydrolyzes, forming silica with a particle size of several nanometers. This process enhances the strength of the concrete, improves waterproofness, and prevents neutralization.
