MECHANICAL AND IMPACT PROPERTIES OF WASTE GLASS FIBER POWDER REINFORCED MELAMINE COMPOSITES

Abstract

Glass fiber is the most popular reinforcement material for improving mechanical properties of composites. While tranforming glass fiber filaments to chopped ones, too many waste glass fiber exists. This paper deals with waste glass fiber powder usage in composites with melamin matrix. Tensile strength behaviour, bending resistance, specific gravity and impact resistance of samples were analysed. Results showed that physical form of reinforcing agent in composite mixture was very important in characteristics of end products. Specific gravity of samples increased by increasing amounts of waste glass fiber powder in composites. This change in specific gravity is related with rearrangement of melamin matrix by hot pressing method and high temperature resistance of waste glass fiber powder to heat than that of melamin matrix. Thereto, waste glass fiber powder reinforcement enhanced the tensile resistance and impact strength of composite up to 30% and 20%, respectively. Addition of waste glass fiber powder lead to sharp decrease in bending resistance, approximately 50%.
