Original Abstract

The paper deals with problematics of the influence of size and shape of test specimens prepared according to the valid standard procedures in comparison to specimens prepared according to the standards used for different types of materials (grouts, coatings). The aim of this paper is to verify the possibility of using non-standard specimen sizes to reduce the economic demands of the development of building materials. The issue is tested on the polymer composites prepared in three different amounts of the filler. The polymer composite based on epoxy resin serves as a representative and homogenous material which achieves the same results under various curing temperatures and humidity. The porous structure of prepared samples was also studied and its effect on the selected mechanical properties was observed. It was shown that the specimen shape and size had impact on the mechanical properties of epoxy-based composites.
