The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of polystyrene content and St/UP on the setting shrinkage and strengths of polymer mortar with waste expanded polystyrene resin as a shrinkage-reducing agent, and to recommend the optimum binder formulations for product of low-shrinkage polymer mortar. In this paper, polymer mortar is prepared with waste expanded polystyrene content and St/UP, and tested for setting shrinkage, flexural and compressive strengths. From the test results, irrespective of increasing of waste expanded polystyrene resin, the strengths reduction of polymer mortar with waste expanded polystyrene(EPS) resin is not recognized. And the setting shrinkage is reduced with EPS resin content. The waste expanded polystyrene resin as a shrinkage-reducing agent can be used in the same manner as commercial polystyrene resin. In this study, we can obtain the optimum mix proportions of polymer mortar using EPS resin.

The purpose of this study is to enhance heat insulation effect and to decrease fire hazard by attaching aluminum foil to expanded polystyrene, which is mainly used for insulating materials, to have fire retardant. The result of the test confirmed that the insulating materials, expanded polystyrene of $10kg/m^3$ and $14kg/m^3$ of density attached aluminum foil on both sides, showed 12%, 14% of improved heat transfer coefficient respectively compared to existing expanded polystyrene of the same density. Besides, they met all the standards for the testing of heat release and gas hazard. On the other hand, the one made of general expanded polystyrene could not meet the standards of the heat release test and the gas hazard test.

본 논문에서는 발포폴리스티렌 비드 (EPB)와 폐 발포폴리스티렌 (WEP)의 대체율에 따른 경량 모르타르의 기초 특성을 평가였다. EPB 및 WEP를 이용한 경량 모르타르의 기초 특성으로서 단위용적중량, 압축 강도, 휨강도, 흡수율, 열전도율 및 폴리스티렌 (EPB 및 WEP) 분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과 경량 모르타르는 WEP의 대체율이 증가할수록 단위용적중량, 압축 강도, 휨강도, 흡수율 및 열전도율은 증가하고, 폴리스틸렌 면적 분포는 감소하였다.

In study, the lightweight insulation mortar is produced with more than 50,000tons of waste each year, but it is difficult to treat with the degradable composite material and the recycling ratio is still 50%. the lightweight insulation mortar is manufactured by using the ratio of expanded polystyrene and pulverized expanded polystyrene.

Tenebrio molitor larvae, as known as edible insects, has advantages of being rich in protein, and has been recognized as a suitable alternate protein source for broiler and pig feed. Moreover, given their ability to biodegrade polystyrene, a major pollutant, Tenebrio molitor larvae has been proposed as an innovative solution to environmental problems. In the present study, we investigated the toxicity of Tenebrio molitor larvae powder (TMlp) ingested with expanded-polystyrene (W/ eps) through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The objective of this study was to determine whether TMlp W/ eps can be applied as livestock alternative protein source. For in vitro experiments, cytotoxicity test was performed to investigate the effects of TMlp-extract on the viability of estrogen-dependent MCF-7 cells. The possibility of estrogen response was investigated in two groups: Expanded-polystyrene-fed (W/ eps) TMlp group and without expanded-polystyrene-fed (W/o eps) TMlp group. For in vivo experiments, The male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided based on the dosage of TMlp administered and oral administration was performed to every day for 5 weeks. A toxicological assessments were performed, which included clinical signs, food consumption, body and organ weights, hematology, serum chemistry, and hematoxylin and eosin staining of liver and kidney. There were no specific adverse effect of TMlp W/ eps-related findings under the experimental conditions of this study, but further studies on both sexes and animal species differences should be investigated. In conclusion, TMlp W/ eps was considered non-toxic and observed to be applicable as an alternative protein source for livestock feed.

Many previous studies have focused on revealing the harmfulness of microplastic particles, whereas very few studies have focused on the effects of chemicals, particularly photooxidation product. In this study, products of photodegradation from expanded polystyrene (EPS), compounds produced by photolysis by ultraviolet (UV) light, were investigated. EPS was directly irradiated and photolyzed using a UV lamp, and then the extracted sample was analyzed using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Multiple ionization techniques, including electrospray ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, and atmospheric pressure photoionization, were used. In total, >300 compounds were observed, among which polystyrene monomer, dimer, and oxidized products were observed. In this work, the data presented clearly demonstrate that it is necessary to identify and monitor oxidized plastic compounds and assess their effect on the environment.

본 연구에서는 발포 폴리프로필렌(Expanded polypropylene)과 발포 폴리스티렌(Expanded polystyrene)의 준정적 시험(Quasi-static test) 및 계장화 충격 시험(Instrumented impact test)을 수행하였다. EPP와 EPS는 4가지의 다른 밀도에 대해 원통형 시편이 준비되었다. 준정적 시험에는 MTS 858을 사용하여 0.001 $s^{-1}$과 0.1 $s^{-1}$ 두 가지 변형률속도 조건으로 진행되어 결과를 분석하였다. 계장화 충격 시험에서는 Instron dynatup 9250HV를 사용하여, 각각 100 J, 200 J, 300 J의 서로 다른 충격에너지를 가했을 때의 응력-변형률 선도 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

폴리스티렌을 acetyl sulfate 시약을 사용하여 술폰화시킨 후 다공성 양이온교환 막으로 제조하였다. 제조된 막의 특성을 분석한 결과 다공성의 형태를 가졌음을 확인할 수 있었고, IR 분석결과 술폰산기의 도입을 확인할 수 있었다. 전체적으로 반응물 중 황산의 양이 증가할수록 이온교환능력이 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었고, 전기투석 공정에 적용가능성을 판단한 결과 양이온에 대한 선택성과 음이온에 대한 배제성을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

This experimental study examines the applicability of polymer mortar permanent forms using a methyl methacrylate (MMA) solution of waste expanded polystyrene (EPS) to develop effective recycling processes for the EPS, referring to the flexural behavior of a polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form with almost the same performance as commercial products. An MMA solution of EPS is prepared by dissolving EPS in MMA, and unreinforced and steel fiber-reinforced polymer mortars are mixed using the EPS-MMA-based solution as a liquid resin or binder. Polymer mortar permanent forms (PMPFs) using the EPS-MMA-based polymer mortars without and with steel fiber and crimped wire cloth reinforcements and steel fiber-reinforced polymer-impregnated mortar permanent form (PIMPF) are prepared on trial, and tested for flexural behavior under four-point (third-point) loading. The EPS-MMAbased PMPFs are more ductile than the PIMPF, and have a high load-bearing capacity. Consequently, they can replace PIMPF in practical applications.
