Abstract: A major issue in the use of geomembranes for waste containment is an estimate of the material's durability (i.e., its lifetime) to various aging phenomena. For high density polyethylene geomembranes, which are the focus ...

Abstract: The results of an accelerated aging test program to evaluate the effect of thickness on the depletion of antioxidants from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes and subsequent degradation of the physical properties ...

Abstract: A new index test method, the notched constant tensile load (NCTL) test, for evaluating high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes regarding stress‐cracking resistance is presented in this paper. Eighteen commercially ...
