ABSTRACT: As nanomaterials can now be found in solid and liquid waste, the ability of geomembranes for containing this new type of contaminants must be verified. To that extent, information learnt from experiments carried out with protective materials used in occupational health and safety indicates that this study shall take into account the conditions geomembranes will experience during service. This includes mechanical stresses, low and high temperatures and contact with chemicals.
RÉSUMÉ: Les nanomatériaux sont maintenant présents dans les résidus solides et liquides. Il est donc très important de vérifier la travaux effectués avec des matériaux de protection utilisés en santé et sécurité au travail montre que cette étude doit prendre en compte les conditions auxquelles seront soumises les géomembranes en service. Ceci inclut les contraintes mécaniques, les températures basses et élevées, et le contact avec des produits chimiques.
