Characterization of Waste Plastic with Wood Particulate Composite
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Recycled waste plastics and wood sawdust, which are available in abundant amount, can be used for producing a composite, a new material that reduces the waste plastic pollution, production costs and environmental damage. The new composite materials will be used for manufacturing floor tiles that are environmentally friendly, light but still technically qualified, and are expected to replace theceramic tiles that are relatively heavy. The possibilities of using recycled plastic wastes for the manufacturing of wood-plastic composites are examined. The samples were processed from the “light” fraction of construction plastic waste andwooden sawdust powder, and tested for tensile and un-notched impact strength and hardness properties. This paper presents an overview of themechanical properties and durability of recycled mixed plastic waste composites. This paperidentifies the research needs critical in the effective design and utilization of new compositematerials in civil engineering and construction.
