The effect of e-waste particle on mechanical behavior of particulate reinforced epoxy matrix composite
Abstract
The effect of E-Waste particle on mechanical behavior of particulate reinforced epoxy resin composite has been studied. E-wastes are recycled by crushing and make it as filler particles. The E waste filler materials are added to thermosetting polymers of epoxy resins. The fabricated composites were composed of reinforcement as glass fiber (woven and chopped type), matrix materials as epoxy resin and E waste as filler materials. The samples are prepared along the basics of filler material of electronic waste added with liquid polymer as percentage ratios of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 % of resin. The composite samples are fabricated by conventional method of hand layup process. The dispersion of electronic waste particles content efficiency was observed through the diagnosis of their microstructure through SEM images. Hence laminate composite with 15% filler content can be optimizes when compared to other three laminated composite samples.
