Summary

Materials are needed for handling hot brine and steam at temperatures greater than 200/sup 0/C. Thermal stability of styrene--acrylonitrile (ACN)--trimethylolpropane trimethylacrylate (TMPTMA) polymers was studied. Compressive strengths of polymer concretes using styrene--TMPTMA or styrene--ACN--TMPTMA were determined after exposure to hot brine. Field tests of concrete-polymer materials at The Geysers and other geothermal sites are under way and are described. Radioinduced polymerization was used as well as chemical polymerization. (DLC)
