Gypsum Composites with Modified Waste Expanded Polystyrene
Journal of Composites Science, 2023 The construction and demolition waste recycling into secondary raw materials is vital to achieving a sustainable and circular building life cycle. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the materials whose recycling rate should be increased. EPS boards can be shredded and used as aggregate of lightweight cement composites resulting in a material with ...

Sulphonation of Expanded Polystyrene Waste Under Microwave Irradiation [PDF]
e-Polymers, 2008 AbstractChemical modification of polymeric materials is one way of polymer waste management. In our study, expanded polystyrene waste (EPS), used as the reference material, was converted into polymeric flocculants by the sulphonation reaction. Thus, poly(styrenesulphonate) acids (EPSS) were obtained from EPS during the sulphonation process with ...

High-Efficiency Water Filtration by Electrospun Expanded Polystyrene Waste Nanofibers
ACS Omega, 2023 Nanofiber membranes were successfully synthesized from expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste with the addition of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) for water microfiltration using the electrospinning method. The EPS-based nanofiber membranes exhibited a smooth morphology and were uniform in size.

Plastic/Natural Fiber Composite Based on Recycled Expanded Polystyrene Foam Waste
Polymers, 2022 A novel reinforced recycled expanded polystyrene (r-EPS) foam/natural fiber composite was successfully developed. EPS was recycled by means of the dissolution method using an accessible commercial mixed organic solvent, while natural fibers, i.e., coconut husk fiber (coir) and banana stem fiber (BSF) were used as reinforcement materials.
