Blacktop Sealer Composite from Recycled Paint
Invention Summary:
Over 16 million gallons of latex paint are discarded every year into landfills, which is the largest liquid hazardous waste in the United States. Latex paint is difficult to recycle and hazardous to the environment due to its volatile organic compounds.
Researchers at Rutgers have developed a novel method for recycling...
