Abstract:With increasing awareness of the circular economy, utilizing waste materials from titanium alloys for polymer composites offers numerous advantages. In this study, medical‐grade titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V chips were finely ground and mixed with epoxy resin to produce particulate‐reinforced composites. The tensile strength showed a 32% improvement compared to the neat epoxy. Similar results were observed for the flexural test, showing a 36% improvement in the composites. Moreover, a substantial 96% increase in the… Show more
