In this research, textile factory wastes have been evaluated in the polyester composite. In particular, the use of polyester-based waste fabrics in composite production offers a solution to an important environmental problem. It enables the production of economical, environmentally friendly, and lightweight polyester composites. In the experimental study, textile wastes turned into fine fibers are distributed homogeneously into unsaturated polyester (UP). The chemical reaction is initiated by using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) and cobalt octoate (Co Oc) in the mixture. After the resulting mixture is poured into standard molds, it is waited for a day for it to cure. Then, after the necessary tests and analyses are carried out, some thermophysical properties of the polyester composite have been evaluated. According to the results obtained, the addition of textile factory waste to the mixture reduces the bulk density and hardness of the composite. In experimental studies, optimum polyester composites can be obtained with approximately 1.5 wt.% textile factory waste. Reinforcing these wastes at higher ratios negatively affects both the surface morphology and pore distribution of the composite. These wastes improve the mechanical properties of the polyester composite and increase its processability. Shore D hardness measurements show that waste fabrics reduce the hardness of the composite. It has been determined that the thermal conductivity coefficient of the composite decreases slightly with textile waste reinforcement. However, in thermal decomposition experiments of polyester composite, it is observed that thermal stability decreases slightly with textile waste reinforcement. In this study, the carbon footprint of composites obtained by using textile waste is reduced. Besides, fewer petrochemical raw materials are used and environmentally friendly and economical composites are produced.

The use of industrial factory wastes as a filler in polymer composite materials is becoming more and more common. In this way, these wastes that cause environmental pollution are eliminated and new composite materials are developed. Polymer composites with low cost and high thermal stability are preferred in many sectors. In this research, some physical and chemical properties of inorganic waste reinforced polyester composites have been evaluated. The use of industrial inorganic wastes as fillers in polyester composites develops some thermophysical properties of composites. In particular, such industrial wastes are dried before being used in the composite, the particle size is reduced, and it is ensured to have a homogeneous structure. This type of waste, which is used as filler, is used in the polyester composite in optimum proportions. The use of high inorganic fillers in polyester both weakens the mechanical strength of the composites and negatively affects the matrix structure. Besides, inorganic waste reinforcement raises the surface hardness of polyester composites. Such fillers are improved both the thermal stability and non-flammability of the polyester composite. High-density inorganic fillers are used to obtain a high-density and economical polyester composite. Low-density inorganic industrial wastes also reduce the density of composites. However, the reinforcement of inorganic fillers into polyester at a high rate adversely affects both the surface morphology and the workability of the produced composites.

In this study, Ficus elastica leaves have been reinforced into an epoxy composite and some physical and chemical characterization of the obtained composite is made. Ficus elastica leaves are ground between 297 and 149 microns. The biomass (Ficus elastica) prepared as a filler material is kept in sodium hydroxide (% 7 NaOH) solution for 24 hours for alkali activation. It is then washed three times with distilled water and dried in an oven at 75 °C for 3 hours. Composite production is carried out by reinforcing the prepared filler to the epoxy resin in certain proportions by mass. The effect of the biomass filler added at the rate of 0 wt.%, 1 wt.%, 3 wt.%, 5 wt.%, and 7 wt.% on the density, Shore D hardness, thermal conductivity coefficient, and activation energy of the epoxy composite is determined. According to the results obtained, the density of the epoxy composite decreases as the filler ratio in the mixture increases. Shore D hardness of epoxy composite decreases with the addition of biomass filler. The epoxy composite produced with biomass reinforcement reduces both the thermal conductivity coefficient and the activation energy. Besides, when the chemical bond structure of the obtained polyester composite is analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), it is seen that there is a physical interaction. According to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, 5 wt.% and 7 wt.% reinforcement of Ficus elastica leaves negatively affects the surface morphology of the epoxy composite.
