Peeling Force Required for the Detachment of Non-Woven Plastic Tissue from the Surface of Mortar Prisms.

The purpose of this experimental paper is to examine the adhesion properties between non-woven plastic sheets and cement mortar. Specifically, the effect of w/c ratio and quantity of superplasticizer on the peeling force required for the detachment of tissue from the surface of prisms was studied in detail. Therefore, two types of mortar mixtures were prepared: (1) mixtures without superplasticizer with three different w/c ratios of 0.

Effect of Non-Woven Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Tissue on Fresh and Hardened Properties of Concrete.

This study will investigate the effect of non-woven PET plastic tissue on the fresh, physical, mechanical, acoustic, thermal, and microstructural behaviors of concrete. Including reference specimens, non-woven fabrics were considered in two ways: (a) as a layer with four various configurations of 1-layer, 2-sides, 3-sides, and full wrapping (4-sides) to strengthen specimens, and (b) as (10 × 10) mm cut pieces with three different incorporated percentages of 0.25%, 0.

Fresh and hardened properties of concrete containing different forms of plastic waste - A review.

It is a fact that plastic packages are widely used over the world. This large-scale consumption has resulted in a decrease of the initial resources used to manufacture the packages and has made it more of a challenge to dispose the increased amount of solid plastic wastes. Plastic waste is one of the most significant types of waste materials in the world, owing to its non-degradation and low biodegradability.
