This technique has the potential to improve the existing conduction and properties of polymers other than charge transport; as a result, it enhances the solubility, nano-dimensional morphology, biocompatibility, bio-communication, and other property of parent polymer. A polymer's physicochemical properties can be modified even further by creating a copolymer with another polymer or by grafting.

This study aims to assess the viability of waste tire chips as sand reinforcement for enhancing the performance of shallow foundations. Detailed experimental investigation is carried out to analyze the behavior of model footing placed on sand reinforced with waste tire chips, and the observed improvement is quantified in terms of a non-dimensional factor, bearing capacity ratio (BCR). The influence of variation of several factors such as the content of tire-chip reinforcement, the extent of tire reinforced sand zone, footing shape, the effect of submergence, and scale effects on BCR has also been studied.
