This study explores the mechanical and durability properties of Plastic-Fibre Reinforced Concrete, incorporating hand-shredded plastic fibers sourced from polyethylene bags and PET bottles.
The use of plastic in concrete through various substitution approaches have been targeted in last few decades with the main aim of plummeting the environmental loads of construction industry. Although ...
Incorporating fluorine into certain polyesters accelerates polymer chain formation, makes longer chains accessible, and enables targeted modification of the material's properties. As a result, ...
A group of 30 French and European experts worked on the collective scientific assessment[1], drawing on a corpus of over 4,500 international scientific publications as well as statistics and ...
Plastic waste and its buildup in nature has become a major environmental concern in recent times. While plastic pollution in the oceans is undoubtedly a problem, the presence of plastics in soils ...
Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials made from polymers, which are long chains of molecules typically derived from petroleum, natural gas, or other organic sources. Plastics are ...
Polymer-based—or plastic—synthetic materials have a hold on the fashion industry, currently making up about two-thirds of all fibers used in textiles with no signs of slowing down. At the same time, ...
