In this report, a theoretical examination is made of the life span of polymer concrete (PC) composites in aggressive environments. Using well known physical chemistry laws, in can be shown that the durability of PC is dependent only on the temperature and concentration of the aggressive environment. This dependence can be extremely useful to potential users of PC materials in aggressive environments since the life span of such materials may be predicted with minimum experimental data.
