Described herein are methods of improving the durability of concrete by the infusion of the concrete with a low-viscosity oligomeric solution, and subsequent curing of the oligomeric solution to form a high toughness polymer. Also described herein are compositions containing concrete and high toughness polymers, and formed articles made from concrete and high toughness polymers. The methods and compositions are useful for improving the durability of concrete roads and structures, as well as the durability of repairs to concrete roads.

Application of high toughness, low viscosity nano-molecular resin for reinforcing pothole patching materials in asphalt and concrete base pavement

Chemically bonded ceramics and manufacturing processes are described. In one aspect, a manufacturing process of a chemically bonded ceramic is carried out by: (1) combining an acidic liquid and Fly ash to form a mixture; and (2) curing the mixture to form the chemically bonded ceramic. The Fly ash corresponds to at least a majority by weight of solids combined with the acidic liquid to form the mixture.
