In this work, the presence of biodegradable polymers in recycled plastic materials was characterized using readily available techniques. Recycled polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were studied. The contamination these plastics with polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) thermoplastic starch (TPS) simulated 10 wt.% contaminant. Fourier transform ...

Abstract The use of concrete has always been an important construction material used throughout the industry in world. objective this study is to explore potential using lightweight block mixing with plastic waste and additional as a sustainable for constructing demising wall current industry. research conducted quantitatively through experiments test density strength materials. A series are ba...
