Plastic waste has been a major issue regarding waste in the world today. Plastic production in the world has reached 8300 million metric tons (Mt) from 1950 to 2015 and of about 6,300 Mt turned into waste. The development of industry and technology is often accompanied by the emergence of environmental impact issue. Encompassed plastic waste in nature causes problems, as it can drift from the land and fill the oceans around the world. Various plastic waste processing technologies have been introduced. Recycling plastic waste into goods, fuel oils and asphalt mixtures are things that have been done enormously. This research aims to make composite materials from used plastics, clay materials, and charcoal. A qualitative experimental method by heating the plastic waste below 270°C. Then, it is mixed with additional materials and casted the composite into a mold to form test specimens. Mechanical testing has been carried out to evaluate the composite. The results show that a composite material comprises plastic waste, clay and charcoal can provide maximum tensile strength of 14.59 N. The tested composite material is found to be 34.20% stronger than the material made of only plastic waste.

Plastic Waste Recycling

Nowadays, pollution problem is very acute all over the world. Significant reduction of negative impact of pollutants on humans and the environment, as well as the improvement of a number of environmental and economic indicators can be ensured by the achievement by the countries of a proper level of development in the waste recycling issue. Within the framework of this article, the problems of plastic waste processing and the introduction of innovative solutions for their disposal and recycling are considered. The research aims to study the innovative ways of plastic waste recycling and assess the feasibility of their use in the textile industry. In the course of the study, the experience of introducing innovative environmentally-oriented technologies for plastic waste recycling was studied, the main approaches and strategies for introducing environmental innovations, as well as priority areas of environmentally oriented innovations in production, were considered. The main result of the study includes reasonable proposals for the implementation of plastic waste recycling technology in the production of textiles.

This research project used hot embossing to create a strong and tough polymeric based composite structure. A honeycomb type structure was created by pressing small grooves into thin polycarbonate sheets. A trapezoidal die was used to create hexagonal shaped channels in the polymeric sheet. A number of these sheets were then bonded together to form a composite material. Carbon fibers were embedded into the channels in some of the laminates. The embossing process was carried out at an elevated temperature in an environmental chamber attached to an MTS servo hydraulic testing machine. The grooved structure had a 31% to 45% decrease in the apparent density compared to the ungrooved specimens. Bend tests, tensile tests, and Charpy impact tests were performed on laminates made from this material. The specific values of tensile strength, flexural modulus, and Charpy impact toughness were increased. A small percentage of fibers significantly increased both the stiffness and strength of the laminate.

Fiber Orientation Distribution

The study for strength calculation of one way fiber-reinforced composites and the study measuring precisely fiber orientation distribution were presented. However, because the DB that can predict mechanical properties of composite material and fiber orientation distribution by the fiber content ratio was not constructed, we need the systematic study for that. Therefore, in this study, we investigated what effect the fiber content ratio and fiber orientation distribution have on the strength of composite sheet after making fiber reinforced polymeric composite sheet by changing fiber orientation distribution with the fiber content ratio. The result of this study will become a guide to design data of the most suitable parts design or fiber reinforced polymeric composite sheet that uses the fiber reinforced polymeric composite sheet in industry spot, because it was conducted in terms of developing products. We studied the effect the fiber orientation distribution has on tensile strength of fiber reinforced polymeric composite material and achieved this results below. We can say that the increasing range of the value of fiber reinforced polymeric composite’s tensile strength in the direction of fiber orientation is getting wider as the fiber content ratio increases. It shows that the value of fiber reinforced polymeric composite’s tensile strength in the direction of fiber orientation 90° is similar with the value of polypropylene’s intensity when fiber orientation function is J= 0.7, regardless of the fiber content ratio. Tensile strength of fiber reinforced polymeric composite is affected by the fiber orientation distribution more than by the fiber content ratio.
