| Abstract: |
This paper aims to show the advantages and disadvantages of the usage of polymer materials. The properties will be demonstrated in the experiment designed in the Laboratory of Excellent Research at the Technical University of Kosice, which cooperates with the faculty of civil engineering. Materials based on polymers are often used in the world, for example in mechanical engineering, aeroplanes structures, prosthetic medicine, etcetera. The effective adoption of polymer materials in civil engineering is important. These materials have properties such as corrosion and humidity resistance, and flexibility, while at the same time maintaining their physical form. They can provide all this at 10% of the weight compared to steel. |
