CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS WITH UTILIZATION OF PLASTIC WASTES
Abstract
The main emphasis of the research is on the utilization of plastic wastes and there are described findings from production and applic ation of synthetic aggregate made from waste polyethylentereftalate (PET), replacem ent of natural aggregate with PET grit, production of lightweight concrete with melamine and production of modern composite materials utilizing bonding compounds based on P ET. The study describes results from the research of application of suitable treated PET beverage bottles for the production of concrete. The purpose is to increase the tensile strength of the concrete and to influence its other properties. There are also list of advantages and disadvantages of all these applications and comparison with corresponding traditional materials in the study.
