Crystallization behavior of melt-blended polypropylene (PP)/single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) composites has been studied using optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Polypropylene containing 0.8 wt% SWNT exhibits faster crystallization rate as compared to pure polypropylene. PP/SWNT fibers have been spun using typical polypropylene melt spinning conditions. The PP crystalli...

Approximately 450 million tons of plastic and agricultural waste are produced each year in the world. Only a small portion this is recycled, used as fuel or fertilizer, rest left environment burned, resulting environmental air pollution. For proper disposal, can be manufacture composites raw materials. In study, we had evaluated use bean pod powder (BPp) was natural reinforcing filler recycled ...

Abstract GMT (Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastics) is a new type of composite material made mica and glass fiber blended into polypropylene resin substrate, it durable, lightweight, high-strength, translucent easy to install, what’s more, can be recycled reused meet the needs energy conservation environmental protection. It one mainstream building formwork materials at present. This paper analy...

The study aims to investigate the feasibility of using recycled aggregate (RA) and recovered fibers (RFs) obtained from recycling polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (PPFRC) in new production. mechanical properties were compared between a parent PPFRC, (PPRAC), fiber (Re-PPRFC). All concretes designed have same compressive strength slump. was produced with 3 9 kg/m3 fibers. After recycling,...
