CSIR IIR

This project seeks to investigate the possibilities of blending palm kernel shell (PaKS) and plastic waste (synthetic rubber from waste tyres, PET bottles and packaging waste) as composition materials for road construction to form water-resistant bituminous surfaces and for paving public places to reduce the colossal amount of waste generation, reduction of dust and its associated problems emanating from these untarred roads. This research will seek to find innovative ways of reducing the cost of pavement construction materials whiles increasing their durability.
