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

Celal 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 ...

Determination of Hexabromocyclododecane in Expanded Polystyrene and Extruded Polystyrene Foam by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Molecules, 2021
A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method for the determination of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) in expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene foam (EPS/XPS) was developed. The EPS/XPS samples were ultrasonically extracted with acetone and

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

Journal 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.

Towards understanding the influence of porosity on mechanical and fracture behaviour of quasi-brittle materials:experiments and modelling [PDF]

, 2017
In this work, porosity-property relationships of quasi-brittle materials are explored through a combined experimental and numerical approach. In the experimental part, hemihyrate gypsum plaster powder (CaSO 4 ⋅1/2H 2 O CaSO4⋅1/2H2O) and expanded ...

Sound absorption of lightweight brick containing expanded polystyrene beads and palm oil fuel ash [PDF]

, 2020
Bricks are considered as important and strongest materials being used over the years. Commonly, bricks are made of clay mineral and usually used in construction of building wall. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of palm oil fuel

Leachate From Expanded Polystyrene Cups Is Toxic to Aquatic Invertebrates (Ceriodaphnia dubia)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) products and their associated chemicals (e.g., styrenes) are widespread in the marine environment. As a consequence, bans on their use for single-use packaging materials are being proposed in several municipalities.

Evaluating Energy Absorption Performance of Filled Lattice Structures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Maximum stress must be considered to robustly evaluate energy absorber designs. This approach was applied to compare all types of absorbers in a single Ashby diagram and determine the utility of filling lattice voids with a second material. High‐performance fillers can improve the performance of lattices that are limited by buckling or catastrophic ...
