Modification of Asphalt Binder with Waste Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam

open access: yesCelal Bayar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi, 2021
Waste polymers are widely used in asphalt modification, especially, in order to reduce their detrimental effect on the environment. This study discusses the usability of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam in asphalt modification. In this respect, the EPS foam, which produces waste in both production and use stages, was mixed with bitumen by weight ...

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) floats for surveillance of Ochlerotatus japonicus.

open access: yesJournal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2004
Blocks of expanded polystyrene (EPS) were placed in a variety of habitats to investigate their potential as an egg-collection device for container-dwelling Aedes and Ochlerotatus species. Eggs from Ochlerotatus japonicus, Oc. triseriatus, Oc. hendersoni, and Aedes albopictus were collected with EPS floats.
