In the recent year, with the
development of technology the acceleration of the manufacturing of new products
has increased the use of raw materials in the industry. In addition to
decreasing underground resources, increased environmental pollution has opened
the way for the use of natural materials in the industry. Also, the reuse of
materials, which were recycled by recovery methods, is both conservation and
economical method in terms of raw material deficiency. In this study,
mechanical properties of sandwich composites made of natural and recycled
material were investigated. In this context, core material with different
thicknesses (4 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm) were produced using different size granules
(1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm), which were recycled from the used vehicle tire. Sandwich
composite materials have become final with the combination of core materials
with natural jute fabric reinforced laminated composites. In order to test the
usability of the produced sandwich composite materials as building material, the
mechanical behaviours of the sandwich composite were investigated under tension
and compression load. Test results show that mechanical behaviour of the
material varies according to the granular size, thickness of the core material,
and fiber orientation of reinforcement fabric.
