Production and Evaluation of Composites Made from Waste Material and Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)
Abstract: A significant ecological concern that third-world countries are currently facing is the economically viable use of lignocellulose waste. In addition to reducing the cost of the composite, cellulosic fiber composites created from industrial waste would enable the efficient use of a waste material that is presently disposed of or burned. Recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) was used in this work as a major phase (matrix) and industrial waste material was used …

Effects of Industrial Waste Filler Content and Compatibilizer on the Performance of Thermoplastic Polymer Composites
Abstract: In this study, we examine the physico-mechanical characteristics of waste filler-thermoplastic polymer composites in relation to the industrial waste filler mixing ratio and compatibilizer concentrations. Three degrees of coupling agent (Epolene E-43) content and four levels of waste filler to thermoplastic polymer mixing ratios were used in the experiment to examine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the composite. As was to be predicted, composite density grew as waste filler …
