The present work analyses the first approach of the use of PET as a component of a sustainable alternative to generate an enforced concrete. Through the computational study of one nanostructured concrete model and two monomers PET system, the adsorption energies of PET on concrete were evaluated in the present work, which was exergonic (-7.67 eV) and therefore can be formulated as a perspective a sustainable concrete using one of the principal waste in the world, applied to the construction industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
