In this study, we combine the coffee slag, metal powder with recycled petrochemical plastics (polystyrene, PS) to prepare circulation composite materials. It is an energy saving and carbon footprint reduction composite material compared with traditional one. The resulted PS/coffee composite has tensile strength 117.5 kgf/cm2 and flexural strength is 314.2 kgf/cm2. The heat deflection temperature (HDT) is 92[Formula: see text]C and the UV test fits the ASTM G154 requirement. The metal gross composite is with tensile strength 318.8 kgf/cm2 and flexural strength is 581.6 kgf/cm2. The HDT is 91[Formula: see text]C and the UV test fits the ASTM G154 requirement as well. Its reuse ratio can reach 85% for recycled PS. The resultant product has metal texture blinds with metal gross and wood-like blinds with coffee aroma flavor.

Abstract Composite materials made with synthetic fibres like E-glass, Kevlar or carbon have helped to provide a wide array of products to society with specific engineering properties. However, these materials have a high carbon footprint as well as being non-biodegradable. The use of natural fibre, as a substitution to these man-made fibres, has been studied and encouraging results are being obtained.In this study, the use of ‘Pandanus utilis’ fibre as a reinforcing agent in plastic was investigated with the aim of exploring specific properties such as the tensile strength of the fibre, its wettability and the effect of fibre length after treating the fibre with two different NaOH solutions. Results have shown that better reinforcement was obtained for the composites (11.10 ± 2.53MPa) with fibres subjected to a more aggressive treatment (2.5%NaOH for 2h) compared to the composite made with fibres having maximum tensile strength (168 ± 12MPa at 0.5% NaOH for 14h), due to a better hydrophilicity of the alkaline treated fibre (87.37° internal angle). Within the range of short chopped fibre length tested (6 to 15 mm), it was shown that there was a general decrease in the tensile strength of the composite.

Before And After

The significance of composite materials and their applications are mainly due to their good properties. This imposes the need for their recycling, thus extending their lifetime. Once used composite material will be disposed as a waste at the end of it service life. After recycling, this kind of waste can be used as raw materials for the production of same material, which raises their applicability. This indicates a great importance of recycling as a method of the renowal of composite materials. This study represents a contribution to the field of mechanical properties of the recycled composite materials. The tension mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus of elasticity) of once used and disposed glass-epoxy composite material were compared before and after the recycling. The obtained results from mechanical tests confirmed that the applied recycling method was suitable for glass-epoxy composite materials. In respect to the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity it can be further assessed the possibility of use of recycled glass-epoxy composite materials.

This research aims to determine the effect of the mixture and the ratio of the composites and their interactions to the characteristics of the bioplastic composites and to determine the mix and ratio of the composites that produce the best characteristics of the bioplastic composites. The experimental design of this study used a randomized block design method. Factor I is a mixture of composite materials consisting of maizena-glucomannan, maizena-chitosan, and maizena-carrageenan. The second factor is the ratio of the composite material mixture which consists of 5 levels, namely 100: 0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0: 100. The experiment resulted in 15 treatment combinations and were grouped into 2 groups when the process of making bioplastic composites was obtained, so that 30 experimental units were obtained. Data were analyzed for their diversity and continued with Duncan's multiple comparison test. The observed variables which tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus young, swelling, and biodegradation time. The results showed that the mixture and the ratio of the composites forming a very significant effect on tensile strength, elongation at break, elasticity, and swelling. The interaction has a very significant effect on tensile strength, elasticity and swelling and significantly affects the elongation at break of bioplastic composites. Meanwhile, the mixture and the ratio of the ingredients to form the composites had no significant effect on the biodegradation time. Maizena:glucomannan composite with ratio (25:75) produced the best characteristics of bioplastic composites with tensile strength values of 6.99 MPa, elongation at break of 16.5%, elasticity 42.39 MPa, swelling 78.78% and biodegradable time of 7 days. There are 2 variables that have met the standard, namely: elongation at break of bioplastic composites that meet the plastic Standard SNI 7188.7: 2016 and biodegradation time has met the international plastic standard ASTM 5336 and 3 variables that do not meet the standards, namely: Tensile strength (6,99 MPa) and elasticity (42,39 MPa) do not meet the Plastic Standard SNI 7188.7: 2016 and swelling (39,1%) does not meet international plastic standards (EN 317).

Background/Objectives: This study designed a model that used the sandwich-style notched tensile specimens of the same specifications by applying to the properties of CFRP, stainless steel, and aluminum, and performed a test simulation.Methods/Statistical analysis: The study used CATIA design software to perform the 3D modeling of the sandwich-style notched tensile specimens with the properties of CFRP, a composite material, and stainless steel and aluminum, both ordinary metals, and then, performed a tensile test simulation.Findings: By designing the sandwich-style notched tensile specimens of the same specifications and performing a test simulation, we were able to verify the tensile strength and durability of the specimens for the different materials. This study result showed that unlike the specimens for the ordinary metals, those specimens with the properties of the composite material of CFRP first showed maximum load instead of breaking immediately due to the fibers in CFRP, before they resisted displacement in response to the alternately increasing and decreasing load until it fractured. To be specific, we saw that the CFRP specimens had the more excellent tensile strength and durability.Improvements/Applications: The data obtained from the studies will serve as the basic data for studies on the composite materials like CFRP and other various materials.

The Impact

Over the last decades composite materials, plastics and ceramics have been the dominant emerging materials. The volume and number of applications of composite materials have grown steadily, penetrating and conquering new markets relentlessly. So everybody is concentrating on new materials which will be strong enough, less weight, recyclable with reduced cost. Hence all the researchers are concentrated on the composite materials which have all the above properties. The present work is concentrated on coconut coir fiber and Rice husk reinforced polyester hybrid composites. The composites specimen was fabricated with various weight percentages of natural fibers namely coconut coir (20%, 15%, 10%, and 5%) and Rice husk (15%, 10%, and 5%) combined with CamElect 3321 resin using hand lay-up method. So to obtain new composite materials different proportions of coconut coir and Rice husk is added and the mechanical properties such as Tensile strength, Flexural Strength and Impact test were carried out for the samples cut from the fabricated composites specimen to the dimensions as per ASTM standard. With the increasing percentage of the reinforcements the performance of the material is improving. The tensile strength increases with the increase in coir reinforcement percentage and flexural strength increases with the increasing in percentage of the rice husk and the impact strength of the material gets boost with equal proportional percentage of coconut coir and rice husk reinforcement.
