Recycling waste expanded polystyrene as aggregate in produc-tion of lightweight screed mortar
Revista de la construcción, 2023 The potential use of waste-expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads in the production of lightweight screed mortar (LSM) was investigated. LSM specimens were produced by replacing waste EPS with normal weight aggregate at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% proportions by volume.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

A methodology for recycling waste expanded polystyrene using flower essential oils
Fuel, 2022 Abstract While polystyrene polymers see broad usage in homes as well as various industrial sectors, their generation of pollutants and disposal remain issues yet to be fully addressed. Expanded polystyrene is commonly used as an insulator and industrial packaging material due to its properties, but the lack of benign, efficient, and economically ...
