Abstract
Nowadays plastics have become one of the main construction materials with a wide range of use in product design as well as construction industry of medium or large elements including buildings. Elements like pipes’ and cables insulation, storage tanks, skylights, roofing, windows and doors, insulation and temporary structures can be made entirely, partly or as a bonding compound in new material mixes like WPCs wood plastic composites, carbon or natural fiber reinforced plastic. Material of this study has a vast application in the field of tensile structures construction or tents in smaller scale. One of the most common uses of plastic in the building construction is insulation of large surfaces such are walls, roofs or floors that can come in different forms commonly in foam which amounts can be adjusted to fit any form, in a prefabricated form like SIP panels as well as to securely insulate smaller details like pipes or cables. It is frequently used in the timing of the exterior building planes too. A rife problem is allergies from raw organic material objects and building components like down, sisal, cotton, coir, sea grass, etc. that can cause serious sequels like asthma, eyes and other mucous maladies can be completely eliminated with synthetic plastic-based materials-nylon, polyester, and polypropylene. This paper intends to stream how different plastic-based materials can help attain sustainable position in modern contemporary architecture.
Highlights
Natural plastic existed in nature in the form of rubber long time before an artificial material was invented but only it became revolutionary for all levels of society and technology
The collective facts put together in the body of this paper have basically buttressed on the significance of using plastic materials for sustainable construction
Have put plastic materials ahead over other traditional building materials. The fact that they are organic and efficient in shaping has enabled the emergence of different kinds and types of design that have gained special recognition and popularity among architects. This means that advancement in the use of plastic materials for various designs has no limit new products with improved features can be manufactured
Summary
Natural plastic existed in nature in the form of rubber long time before an artificial material was invented but only it became revolutionary for all levels of society and technology. In 1920s further research studies and laboratory tests followed and presented urea formaldehyde, polyvinyl chloride ( called as vinyl or PVC), nylon and many others (Harper C.A & Petrie E.M 2003, p.324-325) Nowadays it became one of the main construction materials with a wide range of use in product design as well as construction industry of medium or large elements including buildings. This problem needs an immediate solution in humid climates, climates with rainy seasons or in an old styled houses that cover walls and ceilings with fabrics or carpets that are very susceptible to microscopic vermin Another cause of building diseases is high moisture that accumulated in absorbent building materials and may result in mycotoxins produces by visible and invisible fungal, spore or mold formations. Example are showing the importance of innovative man-made synthetic options more frequent uses to prevent air pollution particles to be absorbed by exposed materials
