The manufacturing of polystyrene around the globe has escalated in the past years due to its
huge applications in various areas. The perpetual market needs of polystyrene led the …

The use-and-throw culture of plastic products has generated a massive amount of plastic
wastes each year, posing a threat to the environment with the absence of proper disposal …

Dissolution with suitable solvents is one of the cheapest and more efficient processes for
polystyrene waste management. In this work the solubility of polystyrene foams in several …

Thermal degradation of waste polymers was carried out as a suitable technique for
converting plastic polymers into liquid hydrocarbons, which could be used as feed stock …

Silicon-based anode materials have critical issues such as drastic volume changes, huge
stress generation, and the thickening of solid‒electrolyte interphase layer. Thus, a new …

In this work polystyrene (PS) nanofibers are electrospun from recycled expanded
polystyrene (EPS). These fibers are mixed with micro glass fibers to modify the glass fiber …

A novel method for the pyrolysis of waste polystyrene was investigated which was based on
high temperature by microwave–metal interaction. This interaction may also catalyze the …

Abstract Zinc bulk catalysts (Zn, ZnO and ZnCl 2) were used for the thermo-catalytic pyrolysis
of EPSW and were found with high activity and selectivity of products. Thermo-catalytic …

Waste polystyrene was pyrolyzed at temperatures as high as the melting point of aluminum
into styrene and other substituted aromatic compounds. This temperature was attained by …

The toluene soluble of coal tar pitch was carbonized with waste polystyrene. The properties
of mesophase pitches were characterized using polarized light optical microscope, apparent …
