Description
Composite materials are used in a wide range of applications such as automotive, aerospace and renewable energy industries. But they have not been properly recycled due to their inherent nature of heterogeneity, in particular for the thermoset-based polymer composites. This book explores the capability of montmorillonite nanoclay in improving the mechanical characteristics of composites made from recycled glass fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester.
A series of mechanical testing were conducted to examine the performance of recycled glass fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester-montmorillonite nanoclay hybrid composites. The analysis focuses on three factors: the impact of recycled glass fibre sizes, the weight percentages of recycled glass fibres, and the weight percentages of montmorillonite nanoclay.
This book is targeted for technical professionals in the polymer composites industries as well as researchers, scientists and postgraduate students. It is also of interest to decision makers at material suppliers, recycled polymer and polymer composites product manufacturers, and government agencies working with the recycled polymer composites.
