PRODUCTION AND PROPERTIES OF LOW-DENSITY ALKALI-ACTIVATED COMPOSITES BY INCORPORATION OF EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE (EPS)

open access: yes, 2022
The increasing consumption of Portland cement raised concerns about the large amount of CO2generated during its production, Alkali-Activated Materials (AAM) being an alternative for its replacement in some applications.

Expanded Polystyrene Foam Formed from Polystyrene Beads Coated with a Nanocrystalline SiO2 Film and the Analysis of Its Moisture Adsorption and Resistance to Mechanical Stress

open access: yes, 2017
Conventional Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) can absorb moisture, which significantly degrades its properties. In the present study, it was demonstrated that SiO2 can be deposited on polystyrene beads prior to the pre-expansion and molding steps.

Development and characterization of epoxy syntactic foam filled with epoxy hollow spheres

open access: yeseXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2011
The present study focuses on the development and characterization of epoxy syntactic foam filled with epoxy hollow spheres (ESF/EHoS). The epoxy syntactic foam (ESF) was produced by embedding epoxy hollow spheres (EHoS) into a mixture of epoxy-hardener ...

Assessment of Curing Exposures Effect on the Long-term Engineering Properties of Novel Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

open access: yesARO-The Scientific Journal of Koya University, 2020
At present, most of the generated waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) in developed countries are transported to landfill and in some developing and/or less-developed countries such as Iraq are sent to open landscapes; consequently, this inadequate waste ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
