“…In contrast, thermoplastics can more readily be melted and separated from the fiber reinforcement, provided they are not contaminated. (Zaman et al, 2014) Companies using FRP composites in residential building construction already exist. Using pultruded fiberglass I-beams, Composite Building Structures Ltd. uses composite materials to replace 2"x 6" wooden members in traditional stick/frame construction (Stewart, 2011).…”

“…Polymer resin choices Resins, fiber type, fiber diameter, and any additives need to be compatible in order to have optimal mechanical performance in a FRP composite; as such, all the components need to be selected accordingly. Thermosets are generally brittle and difficult to recycle, with waste plastic disposed of in landfills or incinerated; both are environmentally questionable practices (Zaman et al 2014). The major advantage of thermosets is the liquid state of the monomer resin phase prior to setting, allowing easy incorporation into the fiber matrix, where it subsequently polymerizes.…”

The onsite wood frame method of constructing new buildings has been the norm for residential and basic commercial structures for more than a century. In this review study, we consider investment into plastic composite structures to supplement or replace wood frame home construction. Previous developments in this field often centralize on using a classic composite sandwich panel design: a polymer-based core material adjoined to layers of synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer (e.g. fiberglass). The core of the composite panels is designed to meet demands toward low cost, light weight, and structural rigidity. Different varieties of plastics, including thermosets and thermoplastics, are discussed. Factors that need to be considered in the fabrication of composite modular residential buildings include, but are not limited to, energy consumption (both in building heating and cooling, and fabrication energy usage), fire resistance, resource use, environmental impact, human impact, and cost. Basic fabrication principles and techniques for composite modular panels are reviewed, wherein mechanical and electrical work can be incorporated into the building during panel manufacturing. Methods in which panels can be fabricated in high volumes that enable economies of scale are described. Thusly, recent progress in the application of plastics forming and machining that is applicable to the construction industry, and the feasibility of this type of residential construction are elucidated and discussed holistically.

Fiber reinforced polymer composites have great potential for engineering applications. In this work, we have provided a comprehensive review on the damping properties of fiber reinforced polymer composites. This paper has focused on the mechanism and analytical method of damping properties. This work also presents a broad review on several factors which determined the damping, such as matrix, fiber types, fiber architecture, fiber surface modification, and incorporated fillers. We further discussed the role of interfacial region on the improvement of damping, where high shear strain energy is stored at this region. Nanofillers, fiber coating, and interpenetrating polymer networks have high potential for damping treatment. We have concluded this review with some helpful suggestions for the future development of fiber reinforced composites with desired damping properties.

“…Recycling is the priority strategy from the viewpoints of resource and environmental protection. As shown by recent studies, recycling of GFRP as filler components of concrete mixtures seems to be a good approach . Bulk molding compounds (BMCs) (i.e., GFRPs with a thermoset resin matrix) are promising materials in virtue of their good mechanical, process feasibility, variety, and low‐cost characteristics.…”

Composite manhole covers prepared with recycled printed circuit boards as a reinforcing filler

et al. 2017

Waste circuit boards particles (CBPs) were utilized as a reinforcing filler to prepare bulk molding composites (BMCs) for the manufacture of composite manhole covers (CMCs) without reinforcing ribs. The effects of CBPs and conventional CaCO 3 on the mechanical properties of the BMCs were comparatively determined. Compared to CaCO 3 , CBPs showed a higher compatibility with unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) while effectively improving the fluidity of premix and the mechanical properties of the BMC. To enhance the interfacial adhesion between the glass fiber (GF) and UPR, three kinds of amine, epoxy, and vinyl modified silanes (namely KH-550, KH-560, and KH-570, respectively) were used. The surface tension (c) of the GF significantly decreased upon modification with the coupling agents. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizations revealed a strong adhesion between the GF and UPR, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties of the composite material. The BMC material showed optimal flexural strengths upon addition of KH-560 and KH-570 coupling agents at 4 wt%. With the aim of evaluating its mechanical performance, a constant loading test combined with an ANSYS finite element analysis was performed over the prepared CMC. According to the constant loading test, the CMC material showed a stress loading of 7.8 tons, which was close to the value obtained by ANSYS simulation. POLYM. COMPOS., 00:000-000, 2017.
