Expanded Polystyrene in Soil Reinforcement

2020
The design and execution of works on soft soils represent high complexity and challenges to geotechnicians, since these soils have low bearing capacity. Traditional construction methods require total or partial replacement of low resistance soil by soil with good bearing capacity; sometimes it is possible to construct lateral equilibrium berms; or to ...

Modeling of expandable polystyrene expansion

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2016
ABSTRACTA fundamental understanding of the expansion kinetics of expandable polystyrene (EPS) is crucial for the design and optimization of processes for EPS‐filled syntactic foams. In this study, a general formulation was developed to model EPS expansion.

Loss of Blowing Agents from Expandable and Expanded Polystyrene

Cellular Polymers, 1989
A set of expandable polystyrene (PS) beads of different sizes containing mixed blowing agents (n-pentane and i-pentane) with different compositions was prepared and processed in the standard way. Non-expanded PS beads, pre-expanded PS beads and the final PS foams were exposed to air at room temperature for more than 4000 hours and the weight losses due

On Variability in Physical Properties of Molded, Expanded Polystyrene

Journal of Thermal Envelope and Building Science, 2000
When computer models are used for predicting field performance of moist insulation products, we must learn how to quantify the variability in measured properties. This is an issue of adequate material characterization. A description by the EPS type is not sufficient.

The Determination of Chlorofluorocarbons and Extractives in the Expanded and Disposable Polystyrene Ware

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1991
Residual chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and water-extractive residues in expanded polystyrene ware were determined because of the threat to environmental and public health arising from the ozone depleting potential of CFCs and the leaching of toxic monomers and oligomers into food and drink.

Filtration application from recycled expanded polystyrene

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2006
Water-in-oil emulsion with drop size less than 100 mum is difficult to separate. Coalescence filtration is economical and effective for separation of secondary dispersions. Coalescence performance depends on flow rate, bed depth, fiber surface properties, and drop size. The amount of surface area of the fibers directly affects the efficiency.
