This article reports the effective usage of redmud(RM) an industrial waste ,as a  novel filler in polymer matrix. The composite has been fabricated with redmud as secondary reinforcement in banana fiber reinforced polyester (BFRP) using compression molding technique. The mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strength have been studied for different fiber weight percentage, ...

This study aims to investigate the utilization of recycled textile waste fiber (RTWF) as reinforcement in cementitious lightweight composite mortars. The effect RTWF percentage on mortar (CLCM) consistency, plastic and dry set density, splitting tensile compressive strength was measured. In particular, structural mechanical properties hardened examined detail. Mohr-Coulomb Failure Criterion use...

Currently, reuse of solid waste from disused infrastructures is an important environmental issue to study. In this research, polymer concrete was developed by mixing orthophthalic unsaturated polyester resin, artificial microfillers (calcium carbonate), and waste aggregates (basalt and limestone) coming from the recycling process of concrete sleepers. The variation of the mechanical and physica...

In order to study the basic mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced recycled aggregate concrete, the concrete mix ratio, the length and the volume mixing ratio of chopped basalt fiber yarn are designed for changing factors. A total of 324 specimens have been completed for this investigation. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, elastic modulus and axial compressive str...

Introduction Polyester is a general name given to the fibers usually made from polyethylene terephthalate having ester functional group in their main chain and formed through the polycondensation reaction of a glycol (or diol) with a difunctional carboxylic acid (or diacid) (Edlund and Albertsson 2003). The presence of two functional groups of each reacting species results in the formation of a...

modifying polyester spacer fabric by β-cyclodextrin produces a new product with outstanding characteristics. citric acid is used as a crosslinking agent for improvement of durability of this material in textile fabrics. in this research different concentrations of citric acid and β-cyclodextrin were applied on a 3d fabric and some properties including weight change, weight of moisture residue, ...

The fiber, dye and dyebath variables which affect the batch dyeing of polyester with disperse dyes are discussed, as are some of the chemical properties of disperse dyes which influence the normal conditions of dye application, stripping and reduction clearing. Discussion of the continuous dyeing of polyester is deferred to a iater chapter on dyeing polyester/cellulosic

In this study, the effects of incorporating recycled photopolymer-plate residues from a packaging flexography process into polyester-glass fiber composites were examined. Ternary with an unsaturated polyester matrix elastomer particles evaluated using two types glass fibers: in forms fabric bidirectional fibers and blanket multidirectional fibers. The prepared by hand lay-up lamination differen...

This work investigates the feasibility of using recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE), recycled polypropylene (rPP) and old newsprint fiber (ONP) to manufacture fiber reinforced composites. The boards were made through air-forming and hot press. The effects of the fiber loading and coupling agent content on tensile, flexural, internal bond properties and water absorption and thickness swel...
