Investigation on the Effect of Butyl Acrylate (nBA) to Improve the Toughness Properties of Methacrylate-Based Waterproofing Adhesive Material (MMA) for the Steel Bridge Deck

Figure 9

Comparison of adhesive and shear strengths between MMA and the poly(MMA-r-nBA) coatings. (a) The adhesive strength between the poly(MMA-r-nBA) coating and steel substrates (yellow columns) and, as a comparison, the results of MMA adhesive materials (blue columns) are listed. (b) The adhesive strength between the poly(MMA-r-nBA)/MMA coating and asphalt mixture (GA and EA). (c) The shear strength between the poly(MMA-r-nBA)/MMA coating and asphalt mixture (GA and EA). Further details are given in Table 4.
