Abstract:In this study, it was aimed to recycle waste polystyrene (PS) and obtain a material with high screw retention resistance that can be used instead of wood material. For this purpose, waste MDF dust (MF) and glass fiber (GF) were used as fillers in the PS matrix. Waste PS was first dissolved in gasoline and then 50-100-150 % fillers were added and mixed manually. To solidify the mixture, it was kept in the oven at 100 degrees for 30 minutes. Additionally, the samples were subjected to heat treatment by keeping t… Show more
