Manufacture of polymeric concrete on the Moon

Manufacture of polymeric concrete on the Moon

The present study concerns a development of lunar concrete using a thermoplastic polymer in constructing outpost on the Moon, assuming that a given quantity of polymer has to import from the Earth. A mixture of 10% polymer and 90% lunar soil by mass was cast in a 50mm cubic mold, followed by being p...

Zusammenfassung:The present study concerns a development of lunar concrete using a thermoplastic polymer in constructing outpost on the Moon, assuming that a given quantity of polymer has to import from the Earth. A mixture of 10% polymer and 90% lunar soil by mass was cast in a 50mm cubic mold, followed by being preheated in the vacuum chamber at
