A team from TKM College of Engineering has obtained patent for Plastile, a three-layered plastic tile with porous metal oxide core that can reduce thermal load on concrete roofs
While plastic menace continues unabated, TKM College of Engineering has developed a technology to transform the ubiquitous waste into something useful.
A four-member team from the college has obtained patent for Plastile, a three-layered plastic tile with porous metal oxide core that can reduce thermal load on concrete roofs. A product with high sustainability, the core and plastic layers can be separated and recycled any number of times as a raw material for Plastile. The product was designed and developed by a team that included three teachers P.G. Karthik, K.E. Reby Roy, Jesenna Muhammed, and PhD student J. Aravind.
