DOI: 10.1016/j.porgcoat.2018.04.024
Abstract: Abstract In order to improve of the durability of concrete from the attack of aggressive environments, a solvent-free hydrophobic photo-polymerizable organic–inorganic (O-I) nano-structured coating, indicated as HEP, was experimented on different concretes. The nano-structured hybrid… read more here.
