Publication: Geosynthetics Research and Development in Progress
Abstract
Recent cracking failures in flexible polypropylene (fPP) geomembranes and floating covers are reviewed together with analytical data on antioxidation and ultraviolet (UV) resistance additive components in new and degraded material. It is evident that stress has a significant effect on the UV degradation rate and a much smaller effect on thermal degradation. The objective of the research is to generate an adequate durability specification for fPP geomembranes in different applications
