Abstract

B72 acrylic resin/methyltrimethoxysilane (YMTMOS) mixtures are frequently employed as consolidants for deteriorated limestones, sandstones and marbles- The addition of B72 to MTMOS imparts adhesive properties to the consolidant but it is not known to what degree the B72 affects the reactions which MTMOS must undergo to form a solid polymer network. This paper examines the following chemical, physical, and mechanical properties in order to better understand B72/MTMOS systems: 1. viscosity 2. vapor pressure 3. reaction mechanism and kinetics 4. chemical nature of polymer solids 5. rupture moduli of polymer solids and 6. rupture moduli of stone/consolidant composites.
