Abstract
This study uses polyethylene (PE) with fly ash (FA), another industrial waste, to produce cementitious polymer-based product. PE was incorporated into FA in various mass compositions by hot-pressing under temperatures up to 125 °C and compaction pressures reaching 50 MPa. Their mechanical and chemical properties and morphologies were investigated to establish their applications. Although the heat treatment applied during hot-pressing was lower than the melting temperature of PE (132.6 °C), a sturdy yet lightweight product of 1 PE:2 F A was obtained with 30 MPa of compressive strength, 15 MPa of flexural strength, higher ductility, and a density of only 1453 kg/m3. The crystallinity of the specimens (from 70 % to 90 %) was observed through differential scanning calorimetry. Although direct chemical bonding between PE and FA did not result in, physical interactions due to high compaction pressures, as implied by the robust interlocking of semi-crystalline PE, the micro-spherical shape of FA particles improved the strength.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development.
The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
