Utiziling Recycled High Density Polyethylene Caps of Polyethylene Terephthalate Bottles in Composite Plates
Abstract
In this study, composite plates that are consisted of recycled HDPE polymer matrix and reinforced with woven fabrics (cellulosic fiber content; flax and jute) are manufactured in order to contribute polymer waste management. Used HDPE bottle caps are collected for recycling and hot press method is used to produce HDPE matrix plates. Plates are than reinforced with 100% jute and 100% flax woven fabrics with different sequence combinations by hot press machine. Temperature, production time, pressure and cooling rate are the crucial parameters that are optimized for forming composite materials. These bi-layered and three-layered composite plates are physically and mechanically tested for appropriate end use areas.
