PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

In Dr. Peggs' 25 years of experience investigating and testing polymers, primarily geosynthetics, he has acquired a great deal of information concerning materials durability and how that characteristic corresponds to the success or failure of the application of a given material in its environment. Dr. Peggs shares this valuable information in his publications and presentations as listed below:
