In this study, composite materials
were produced by adding medium density fiberboard (MDF) waste and massive
timber waste from furniture industry into PVC polymer matrix at different
ratios. For the production of PVC composite materials, each waste material was
mixed with PVC polymer and then, they were converted into pellets using twin
screw extruder and combined pelletizer. The obtained pellets were molded into
composite boards in 250 x 250 x 2 mm dimensions via hot press molding
technique. The mechanical properties of the produced composites were compared
with each other and with pure PVC based board in order to determine whether
they can be used in various applications. The result of the mechanical tests showed
that the tensile strength value of 10% wood flour-added PVC composites had the
highest tensile strength value of 24.51 MPa. On the other hand, the highest
bending strength value of 61.20 MPa was found for composite material with 10%
MDF powder.

Mobilya endüstrisi atıklarının polimer kompozit üretiminde değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, PVC polimer
matrisi ile mobilya endüstrisi atıklarından orta yoğunluklu lif levha (MDF) ve
masif kereste atıkları kullanılarak kompozit malzemeler üretilmiştir. Kompozit
malzemelerin üretimi için her bir atık malzeme PVC polimeri ile çift vidalı bir
ekstruder ve peletleyici kullanılarak pelet haline getirilmiştir. Elde edilen
pelletler, sıcak pres kalıplama tekniği ile 250x250x2 mm boyutlarında kompozit
levhalar haline getirilmiştir. Kompozitlerin çeşitli uygulamalarda kullanılıp
kullanılamayacaklarını belirlemek için yapılan testler ile elde edilen
kompozitlerin birbirleriyle ve saf PVC ile mekanik özellikleri karşılaştırılmıştır.
Mekanik testlerin sonucu %10 odun unu katkılı PVC kompozitlerin çekme
mukavemeti değerinin 24.51 MPa ile en yüksek çekme dayanım değerine sahip
olduğunu göstermiştir. Öte yandan en yüksek eğilme direnci değeri, %10 MDF tozu
katkılı kompozit malzemede 61.20 MPa bulunmuştur.
