A multi-functional polymer concrete using polymer or cement-polymer binders modified with boron nanotubes and heavyweight aggregate particles.

An inorganic mortar system for chemical fastening of an anchor in mineral substrates can contain at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8. The inorganic mortar system contains a curable aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B for initiating the curing process. Component A contains at least one blocking agent selected from boric acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, and salts and mixtures thereof. Component B contains an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water. The use of at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8 in an inorganic mortar increases load values and reduces shrinkage. A method can be used for chemical fastening of an anchor, preferably of metal elements, in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete, or natural stone.

A cubic boron nitride particle population having highly-etched surfaces and a high toughness index is produced by blending a reactive metal powder with a plurality of cubic boron nitride particles to form a blended mixture. The blended mixture is compressed to form a compressed mixture. The compressed mixture is subjected to a temperature and a pressure, where the temperature is controlled to cause etching of the plurality of cubic boron nitride particles by reaction of cubic boron nitride with the reactive metal powder, thereby forming a plurality of etched cubic boron nitride particles. Also, the temperature and pressure are controlled to cause boron nitride to remain in a cubic boron nitride phase. Afterwards, the plurality of etched cubic boron nitride particles is recovered from the compressed mixture to form the particle population. Preferably, the particle population contains no hexagonal boron nitride.
