Comparative study of physico-mechanical properties of polypropylene fibre-reinforced gypsum composites
(American Institute of Physics, 2023-09-27)
Nowadays, the growing demand of plastic is leading to an uncontrolled waste production that threats the Planet’s health. Over 8 million tonnes of plastic debris go into the ocean annually because of poor end-life management. ...

Recycling of low-density polyethylene waste to produce eco-friendly gypsum composites
(WIT Press, 2022)
Over 367 million metric tons of plastic were produced worldwide in 2020. Within the most consumed standard plastics, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is the second resin most demanded in Europe. Far from reducing its ...

Influence of polypropylene residues on the physico-mechanical and water-resistance properties of gypsum plasters
(Elsevier, 2022-10-15)
The main objective of the present research is to determine the feasibility of using polypropylene (PP) waste to produce eco-friendly gypsum-based composites. Four different replacement levels of plastic waste were selected ...

Thermal and mechanical performance of gypsum composites with waste cellulose acetate fibres
(Elsevier, 2022-11-21)
The influence of waste cellulose acetate (CA) fibres in the physico-mechanical (i.e. density, surface hardness - Shore C, flexural and compressive strength) and thermal properties (i.e. thermal conductivity coefficient) ...

Mechanical performance of waste fishing net fibre-reinforced gypsum composites
(Elsevier, 2023-07-17)
In the present research, nylon fibres, sourced from end-of-life fishing nets, are used as substitute of commercially available counterparts to produce eco-friendly reinforced-gypsum composites. The influence of two nylon ...
