Polymeric materials, synthetic as well as biological, are the subject
of Professor Armeniades' research, which focuses on the following
two areas.
Polymer Composites. Synthetic, high-strength polymers and
their composites are among the most promising new structural materials.
These include polymer concretes and mortars, composites of mineral
aggregate and organic resins, which harden via polymerization reactions.
Current research seeks to control cure shrinkage, to maximize the
strength of polymer concretes, and to develop constitutive equations
for the long term responses of these materials to sustained as well
as periodic loads.
