This study deal with the effect of particle size variation of fly ash, as filler with different concentration (5-40%, wt/wt), on various properties of recycled polyethylene terepthalate (RPET). The mechanical, rheological, electrical and thermal properties of the composite material were evaluated and microstructure was investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was seen that micro particle inclusion increased the mechanical properties of the system. From the SEM, it was observed that good dispersion and also very good interaction of fly ash particle-polymer matrix occurred.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
