Waste Materials from Tetra Pak Packages as Reinforcement of Polymer Concrete by Miguel Martínez-López, Gonzalo Martínez-Barrera, Carlos Barrera-Díaz, Fernando Ureña-Núñez, Witold Brostow

“…The polymer concrete specimens were elaborated with unsaturated polyester resin (20%) and silica sand (80%) and irradiated by using gamma rays at 100 and 200 kGy. The obtained results have shown that compressive and flexural strength and modulus of elasticity decrease gradually, when either Tetra Pak particle concentration or particle size is increased, as regularly occurs in composite materials. …”
