Abstract
This work will assess the effect of chemical degradation with solvents (gasoline, alcohol, and diesel oil) and weathering in the physical and mechanical properties of expanded polystyrene (EPS). The densities to be tested are of 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.25 kN / m3. The evaluation of degradation's effects will be performed by the comparison of fresh samples and degradated samples results.…
