Description:
A technological base was sought for determining the chemical resistance and long-term durability of geotextiles, geonets, and pipe exposed to liquids representative of those in a waste containment facility. A desired end product was to develop and validate generalized test methods assessing the chemical resistance of these products in a laboratory setting. Although the methods have produced valuable Information when a high level of expertise has been applied, the fingerprinting techniques do not offer clear-cut means to discriminate subtle differences in polymer structure.
