Filtration application from recycled expanded polystyrene

Electrospinning of uniform polystyrene fibers: The effect of solvent conductivity

“…Numerous studies have shown that PS fibers can be produced by means of the electrospinning technique , and it has been demonstrated that electrospun PS fibers have interesting applications in areas such as tissue engineering [25,26], filtration [27], ion exchanger [28], enzyme immobilization [29], sensors [30], catalysis immobilization [31] and composite materials [32], etc.…”

Characterization of composites based on expanded polystyrene wastes and wood flour

“…Many industries use EPS because of its versatility, dimensional stability, clean nature, and low cost (Shin, 2006). After use, EPS usually ends up in landfills or is incinerated, causing serious environmental problems if modern regulations are not complied.…”

“…Several techniques, both chemical and thermal, are available for recycling EPS waste. However, chemical techniques usually involve the use of hazardous solvents (Shin, 2006;Choi et al, 2006;Amianti and Botaro, 2008).…”

Mechanical and wettable behavior of polyacrylonitrile reinforced fibrous polystyrene mats

“…This technique has been used to manufacture man-made fibers since 1934 [16] and has applicable to variety of polymers and composite polymers [17,18]. Those three-dimensional electrospun fibrous mats with high specific surface and high surface roughness have been demonstrated potential applications in sensors [19][20][21], filtration [22], dye-sensitized solar cells [23], biocatalysts [24], tissue engineering [25], surface super-hydrophobicity [13,14], etc.…”
