Abstract—Woolcool is an eco–friendly type of packaging, made of 100% pure sheep’s wool, hygienically sealed in recyclable food– grade wrap. Due to its complex physical and chemical composition, wool can also help control humidity and reduce condensation. Given these properties, the potential of wool to be used as packaging liners for the transport of meat is of interest. The present study asses...

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) boxes are used for the packaging of perishable and vulnerable goods during transportation; instance, fresh fish fillets. It is important to minimize weight cost materials while maximizing strength avoid damage product itself. EPS have withstand considerable loading, which arises due rough handling stacking transport. This work focused on compressive flexural propertie...

Due to its particularity and importance, long-distance oil gas pipelines need be well protected from damage by backfill materials. In this study, construction waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) were used replace conventional fine aggregate, ethylene vinyl acetate-resin (EVA) was modify the surface of EPS prepare lightweight controlled low strength materials (CLSM). Lightweight CLSM tested in mech...

The utilization of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads in semi-lightweight concrete (SLC) intended for repair and building applications has gained great attention recent years. This study examines the effect mix design parameters including binder content, water-to-binder ratio (w/b), EPS silica fume (SF) additions on mechanical properties durability SLC mixtures. experimental program was carried o...

Many fire disasters have occurred on the thermoplastic expanded polystyrene (EPS) external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) installed vertically building facade. Thus, it is important to understand reaction-to-fire performance of EPS ETICS and effect sample scale, orientation, masonry cover in tests. In this work, both specimens alone with are tested under three different scales, (1...

Abstract Standard brick walls have caused a gradual increase in the area’s temperature due to bricks’ emissivity. Therefore, several effective technologies overcome this problem been proposed, one of which is thermal insulation by covering outer bricks from exposure sunlight. This study compares effectiveness with Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) material obtai...

Novel preparation method of microencapsules was developed on the basis of the liquid coalescence method followed by phase separation. Oil droplets of limonene dissolving expanded polystyrene as a shell material were forced to collide and coalesce with the Isopar oil droplets of core material in the continuous wates phase. When two kinds of oil droplets are collided and coalesced with each other...

in this paper, dynamic transient method and conventional degree-hours method (static) have been compared to estimate heating and cooling loads of building’s wall. all main wall surfaces of various orientations, i.e.south, west, east, north, and horizontal are considered in the climate of tehran, iran. in this study, a conventional wall structure, which is comprisedconcrete as main wall material...

The unique properties of engineered nanoparticles (ENs) that make their industrial applications so attractive simultaneously raise questions regarding their environmental safety. ENs exhibit behaviors different from bulk materials with identical chemical compositions. Though the nanotoxicity of ENs has been studied intensively, their unintended environmental impacts remain largely unknown. Here...

The materials of the given article are devoted to problem solution associated with one processing plastic waste methods by adding various fillers in order obtain final product for thermal insulation manufacture. researches were conducted using UPR (unsaturated polyester resin) samples made EPS (expanded polystyrene) and crushed recycled polyethylene from greenhouse film types wood carpentry wor...
