Polystyrene nanoparticles slurry as an additive for developing insulating and waterproof gypsum composites

Lightweight gypsum composites with improved thermal and waterproof properties were produced by using a concentrated slurry containing polystyrene nanoparticles (NPS) as an additive. The NPS/Hemihydrate mass ratio was varied between 0.00 and 0.42. The density of the composites decreased with the incr...
