Effect of Composition Variation on the Mechanical Strength of Domestic Waste-Based Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

We investigated the mechanical and antiburning properties of composites of organic and inorganic domestic wastes. A lot variations of composition: organic content, paper content, plastic content, and textile content as well as binding material, polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) we conducted to obtain the optimum set of synthesis parameters. The process was made using a simple mixing and hot pressing steps. We obtained a maximum mechanical strength of 67.64 MPa for composite processed at the following parameters (expressed in weight fraction): PVAc: organic: paper: plastic: textile = 18.18: 54.55: 15.15: 6.06: 6.06. The produced composites were then simple mixed with an antiburning material and then hot pressed to obtain fire retardant boards.
