An attempt of application of a structural approach in evaluation of viscoelastic properties of two polyester based concretes and their matrices-polymer resin filled with minerals at various filler volume content-was undertaken. It was found that the approach can be used in evaluation of the creep co

Abstract
The care of the world environment poses many challenges to the proper disposal of mineral wastes. Particulate wastes can be used to modify the properties or lower the cost of polymers. The influence of an ironβsilica rich waste on the hardness of an epoxy resin is evaluated in this work. It is shown that the hardness values are polymer dominated for volume fractions of waste lower than 0.30, but for higher volume fractions a useful increase in the hardness numbers can be achieved. The coarser the particles are the more heterogeneous is the microstructure of the composite. Nevertheless, particulate rich layers increase the hardness of the material several times.

## Abstract The effect of hydrationβdehydration cycling on the properties of a rubber modified, mineral filled epoxy resin is reported. This resin was based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and cured with dicyandiamide. The material was aged in deionized water and a 5% (w/w) NaCl solution at 65Β°C
