Polymer and Polymer Waste Composites in Nuclear and Industrial Applications

Polymers are commonly used as advanced materials that are contained in virtually every material used in our everyday lives. Due to their applications in various domains of science, technology and industry, from basic uses to biopolymers and therapeutic polymers, the significance of polymers is steadily increasing. The main purpose of this review is to accentuate the pragmatic effect of polymers on human everyday life and the significance of waste polymers as an important type of solid waste that could be useful in various applications such as civilian and construction activities and particularly in stabilization and solidification of radioactive waste when mixing the polymer waste with cementitious materials, thus generating modified composites.
