X-ray Computed Tomography for Characterization of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam [PDF]

Materials, 2019
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam is widely used in building and construction applications for thermal and acoustic insulation. This material is nearly transparent for X-rays, making it difficult to characterize its pore structure in 3D with X-ray tomography.

Influence of Paste Strength on the Strength of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Concrete with Different Densities. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2022
Concrete in which EPS (expanded polystyrene) particles partially or completely replace concrete aggregates is called EPS concrete. Compared to traditional concrete, EPS concrete has a controllable low density and good thermal-insulation performance, which make it promising for prospective applications.
