Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional polymer concrete systems are toxic, have limited temperature resistance, and are not fireproof, making them unsuitable for certain applications, while plant-based alternatives offer lower strength and complex mixing requirements, and existing insulation methods lack comprehensive solutions for high-strength, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly building materials.

Innovation Solution

A building material comprising a binder (cement) and dispersion adhesive, which hardens without additional water, creating a high-strength, fireproof, waterproof, and non-toxic concrete variant that combines the properties of cement and polymer concretes, using additives like sand and glass fibers for reinforcement, and incorporating a cavity with negative pressure for enhanced insulation.

AI summary

To design a building block with a fully enclosed cavity, defining an internal volume, in a cost-effective manner while simultaneously achieving enhanced insulation performance, it is proposed that the cavity of the block be kept under negative pressure relative to the ambient environment under normal conditions. The building block is manufactured from a two-component polymer material based on a native epoxy resin, such as a vegetable oil, which is mixed with a building material mixture containing fillers and a hardener—in the form of a combination of polycarboxylic acid, particularly maleic acid, and hydroxycarboxylic acid, particularly citric acid—and then reacted.
