Influence of Graphite Waste Incorporation on the Properties of Epoxy Matrix Composites
Journal Title: Scholars Bulletin - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract:The addition of filler materials to a polymer is a common practice to improve strength, stiffness, toughness, hardness, conductivity, wear resistance, as well as reducing the processing cost significantly. In this study the effect of waste graphite as a cost effective reinforcement in epoxy matrices for improving the mechanical properties was investigated. As the graphite content increased bending modulus, hardness and bulk density increased and bending strength and total porosity decreased. Keywords:characterization, graphite waste, mechanical properties, composite, epoxy.
