Particle Size & Application:

• Particle Size: 50–500 nm

• Application in Cementitious Systems:

• • Improves flexibility and crack resistance in cement-based materials.

  • Enhances water repellency and durability.

Processing Method:

• Emulsion Polymerization:

  • A monomer (e.g., styrene or acrylic) is dispersed in water with surfactants and polymerized into nano-scale plastic particles.

• Melt Processing & Grinding:

  • Recycled plastic waste is melted and atomized into fine particles through grinding and air-jet processing.

Benefits in Cementitious Systems:

✔ Improves crack resistance and flexibility in concrete.
✔ Enhances water repellency, reducing permeability.
✔ Potential to sequester waste plastics in construction materials.
