The Soil-Polymer System.

Abstract

It was shown that polymerization in or with both soils and pure clay minerals greatly enhances their strength characteristics, reduces their susceptability to adsorption of water and resulting swelling, and provides a durable surface for a number of potential applications. Also, the monomer catalyst system may be field-implemented into materials which have a moisture content near or at the required for optimum compaction. (Author)
