Techniques were developed to study the interaction between the new polymers and experimental polymers, and model powders, fly ash, silica fume and cement. The understanding of the dispersing mechanisms of these polymers was increased.
Technical contacts with potential users of the materials and market research will be facilitated by strategic dissemination of the research into the user community through attendance at conferences, seminars and exhibitions and the issue of briefings in appropriate technical magazines. This can start as soon as the results are ready for publication. The research institute and the universities will also use the information in other projects, helping European companies in their research and development.
