A new method of repairing damaged structures by filling the cracks with a specially prepared elastomeric polymer mass has been recently proposed. This new and innovative technique, known as the Flexible Joint Method (FJM), is mainly dedicated to masonries and historical objects, where minimum intervention is permitted. The flexible joint bonds the disrupted elements and ensures further safe exploitation of a damaged structure. The aim of the present paper is to show the results of the experimental study focused on determining the properties of the polymer composite used for the injections. The polymeric specimens were subjected to static tension and compression tests. The DMA tests were performed to measure the glass transition temperature of an analyzed material and also to determine the elastic modulus (storage modulus), viscous modulus (loss modulus) and damping properties as a function of temperature.
