Effective polyelectrolytes synthesised from expanded polystyrene wastes
European Polymer Journal, 2002Chemical modification of used polymer plastics to useful products is a way of effective waste management. To obtain the effective polyelectrolytes the synthesis of sulphonated derivatives of expanded polystyrene wastes was performed. Modification was conducted by means of known methods and products having various contents of sulpho- groups in polymer ...

Free vibration characteristics of flax fiber/ expanded polystyrene waste composite
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021Abstract Nowadays, the concern of damping and vibration has become an important parameter in the design of structural and mechanical components for which the cyclic loading and vibration reductions are critical. Due to this reason, recently natural fiber thermoplastic composites are suitable for many anti-vibration application areas due to their high

Nanofibers from recycle waste expanded polystyrene using natural solvent
Polymer Bulletin, 2005A new recycling technique has been developed. In this method, EPS (expanded polystyrene), generally called Styrofoam, is dissolved with natural solvent, d-limonene and electrospun. This method can economically produce the nanofibers. The electrospinning process produces a nonwoven mat of long polymer fibers with diameters in the range of 10–500 nm and ...

Characterization of composites based on expanded polystyrene wastes and wood flour
Waste Management, 2011This paper aims to evaluate the potential for the use of recycled expanded polystyrene and wood flour as materials for the development of wood plastic composites. The effects of wood flour loading and coupling agent addition on the mechanical properties and morphology of wood thermoplastic composites were examined.

Polymer–cement composite based on recycled expanded polystyrene foam waste
Polymer Composites, 2011AbstractA new polymer–cement composite based on a recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) resin has been developed as an effective method for EPS foam wastes management. The liquefied polymer is prepared by dissolving the foam waste in acetone, then in toluene at the ratio 113:2:1 per volume, respectively.

Novel coupling agent between expanded polystyrene waste and natural fabrics
International Journal of Plastics Technology, 2014Impregnation of natural fabric with polymeric materials finds wide range of industrial applications. The challenge here is to use wastes to be recycled into useful things. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) was used as the target polymer for impregnation of natural fabrics (jute).

A mini-review on expanded polystyrene waste recycling and its applications
World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 2023Over the years, waste recycling has been a growing concern among many nations of the world, especially in developing countries. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is used in electrical/electronic appliances as a shock absorber and constitutes a reasonable percentage of the entire plastic waste.

Properties of concrete containing waste expanded polystyrene and natural resin
Construction and Building Materials, 2016Abstract In this study, the waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) was used in a mixture of cement and tragacanth resin in order to produce a new concrete material. The amount of the resin in the mixture was 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% of the total cement + EPS. The EPS ratios in the samples were determined as 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the total volume.
