High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments

In-situ evaluation of composites-to-masonry bond in a natural aggressive environment
Composite materials, such as Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and, more recently, Textile- Reinforced Mortars (TRM), are nowadays widely used in civil engineering applications as well as on historic masonry.
