Luminous Materials and Polymer Remnants Added to Concrete Objects: Photoelectric Radiation′s Effect

Abstract

Ching Horng*

Among the many practical applications of quantum physics in engineering and architecture, photoluminescence stands out. The photoelectric effect causes some substances to release photons when exposed to solar energy. In research conducted in Europe and Mexico, these substances were used to produce a photoluminescent effect on bicycle paths. When making concrete artifacts to illuminate bike and pedestrian paths, the purpose of the study is to investigate how polymeric residues interact with the luminescent properties of rare-earth materials. After being made from recycled polymeric waste and luminescent materials, the concrete blocks were put in direct sunlight and tested for mechanical strength. Concrete's polymer residue significantly boosts photon emission, according to experiments, especially when processed via extrusion. The research objectives for a product intended to illuminate paths for cyclists and pedestrians were still met, despite the fact that the combination of polymers and photoluminescent materials weakens concrete.
