The impacts of biomineralization and oil contamination on the compressive strength of waste plastic-filled mortar

Abstract Researchers have made headway against challenges of increasing cement infrastructure and low plastic recycling rates by using waste plastic in cementitious materials. Past studies indicate that microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) to coat plastic in calcium carbonate m...
