The increasing use of polystyrene foam has led to a significant waste management problem, and chemically modified waste Styrofoam offers a promising solution. In this study, S. Vennila investigates the potential applications of chemically modified waste Styrofoam for heat-curable, room temperature-curable, and UV-curable blocked isocyanates and polystyrene magnetic nanocomposites. The research aims to address waste reduction and environmental sustainability issues by developing waste to value strategies. Waste conversion is one such strategy, and waste Styrofoam is an excellent candidate for this process. Waste Styrofoam can be transformed into valuable materials by chemical modification and surface functionalization techniques. The study involves investigating the chemical modification of waste Styrofoam through polymer modification, surface modification, functionalization, grafting, crosslinking, and copolymerization techniques. The modified Styrofoam is then used in the development of various curable systems, such as heat-curable, room temperature-curable, and UV-curable blocked isocyanates and polystyrene magnetic nanocomposites. The performance of these materials is evaluated for their thermal, mechanical, and physical properties. Moreover, the study explores the potential of using magnetic nanoparticles in waste Styrofoam modification. The magnetic properties of the nanomaterials can improve the recovery and separation of waste Styrofoam from other waste streams. The magnetic response of the nanocomposites is also evaluated, making them promising materials for various magnetic applications. The investigation of chemically modified waste Styrofoam involves the characterization of the materials using various analytical methods, including spectroscopic analysis. The research aims to provide insights into the fundamental aspects of the waste-to-value approach and to identify new opportunities for waste management. This study has significant implications for waste reduction, recycling, and waste-to-value strategies. The use of chemically modified waste Styrofoam in the development of curable systems and magnetic nanocomposites offers new opportunities for the valorization of waste materials. The research also contributes to the development of new analytical methods and techniques for the characterization of waste materials. Additionally, this work has patentable aspects that may lead to commercialization of the developed materials and processes.
