Abstract
Waste iron swarf (WIS) reinforced epoxy/unsaturated polyester particulate composite films were fabricated. Elemental analysis was carried out on the waste iron swarf by Energy dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX). The waste iron swarf average particle diameter was perceived to be 0.272 μm, which is evidence from particle size analysis. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern shows the crystalline nature of the WIS filler. The waste iron swarf and engineered composite films were characterized by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to observe the existence of different functional groups. The surface topography of the fabricated composite films was captured by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). This shows the distribution of waste iron swarf and unsaturated polyester in the epoxy matrix. Mechanical peculiarities of the fabricated films were examined with the help of Universal Testing Machine, which shows 30.4 % enhancement in tensile strength than pure epoxy.
