| Publisher Description: Plastic Waste for Sustainable Asphalt Roads covers the various processes and techniques for utilization of waste plastics in asphalt mixes. The book discusses the various material properties and methodologies, the effects of various methodologies and combination of various polymers, provides information on the compatibility between bitumen, plastics and final asphalt performance, and more. Waste polymers have been studied for various applications such as energy generation and bio-chemical production, however, their application in asphalt roads has not been discussed in detail. Over the last decade, different studies have reported the utilization of waste plastics in roads using different methodologies and raw materials. What is the right methodology to recycle waste plastics for road application? What is the correct type of waste plastics to be used in road applications? What environmental concerns could arise from the use of waste plastics in road applications? These questions are covered in this comprehensive resource. |
