The Comprehensive Comparison of Thermal and Physical-Mechanical Properties of the Recycled Rubber and Plastic Roofing Tiles versus Roofing Tiles Made with Different Traditional Materials [PDF]

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
The objectives of this research were to estimate the thermal transmittance and some physical-mechanical properties of a housing cover built with roofing tiles made from recycled plastics and rubber and compare them with three other traditional solutions ...

RECYCLING OF THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS BY FILLING EPOXY FLOORING MATERIALS [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2011
Used polymeric materials are often burned or end up in landfills. Those methods represent serious pollution of the environment. The safe option is to recycle the used polymers as filling materials in epoxy flooring tiles. The aim of this work is to study

FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF RUBBER SLIDING AGAINST DUSTY INDOOR FLOORING [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2010
Bathroom mates are usually made of recycled rubber and or polymers. These are used to eliminate slip and fall in bathrooms and kitchens. Ceramic surfaces contaminated with water usually promote slips and occasionally lead to indoor accidents.

Coloring of recycled rubber and plastic tiles and their opto-thermal response

, 2021
La eficiencia energética consiste en lograr un menor consumo de energía frente a una misma prestación. La distinta cantidad de radiación solar que es reflejada o absorbida se debe al color de la superficie. Las tejas desarrolladas en esta investigación son de color negro, por tener partículas de caucho en su composición, que contienen negro de humo ...

Artificial structures for human‐machine interfaces with closed‐loop interaction

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Artificial structures bridge sensing and feedback in closed‐loop human‐machine interfaces by providing geometry‐enabled mechanical and functional programmability. This review maps the role of artificial structures in diverse sensing modalities and feedback strategies, and illustrates their integration into closed‐loop interaction systems, highlighting ...

Impact of Waste‐Derived Slate Dust on Structural, Thermal, and Thermomechanical Behavior of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Investigating the Environmental Impact of Additive Construction: A Systematic Analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment Studies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

Impact resistance of concrete – using slit rubber from tyres [PDF]

, 2015
This paper examines recycled tyre rubber, which was machine cut into slits and these were added to Portland cement concrete mixes in different percentages, based on specimen volume. They were then tested to determine the impact performance of each mix in
