“…The manufacturing method was determined by the type and shape of the fiber and filler. As there are three types of fiber in this work and the filler is in powder form, three types of manufacturing methods were chosen to examine the effect of the fiber form on the output and to determine the optimal manufacturing method for maximum output with the fewest manufacturing defects [21,22]. During the production of composites, a greater number of flaws are typically created.…”

Dumping of construction waste is a growing issue in current situation and recycling and reusing are the suitable solutions for solving it. This effort aims to recycle and reuse of ceramic construction waste. This work examines the effects of inclusion of waste tile powder, change in the glass fiber form which was used as a reinforcement, and method of manufacturing method the polymer composite on the properties of the composite. Normal glass-reinforced polymer composites have good tensile, flexural, and toughness properties. The three forms of glass fibers used for the study includes, chopped fiber mat, glass fiber mesh, and woven glass fiber. Fillers are added to improve hardness and tribology related attributes. Composite fabrication was carried out by conventional hand layup, room temperature compression molding, and hot compression molding process. The goal is to harden the composite without reducing the tensile strength of the composite. ASTM D3039, ASTM D2240, and ASTM D570-98 procedures were adapted for measuring tensile, hardness and water intake properties respectively. Characterization was done through SEM image analysis. A result of 160.21 MPa tensile strength, Shore D hardness value of 96.7, and water absorption of 0.71 percent after 24 hours of testing was recorded. Adding waste tile powder to the polymer composite increases its hardness and reduces surface defects without affecting tensile properties. Fiber form and manufacturing method also affect the output to some extent. The effect of water absorption on the hardness property of the composite was checked and found to be negligible which makes it durable and reliable to be used in moist environments. This composite can be used in automotive parts, moist environment, window and door frames, and in electrical panels.

The most prevalent reinforcing component in composite materials is carbon fiber. However, obtaining the monofilament's performance metrics of carbon fiber is a challenging task. In this study, we have used PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC) sheets having low mechanical properties. Our goal is to improve the mechanical properties of PVC sheets with the wrapping of carbon fiber. The wrapping of carbon fiber is done by the Hand Lay up method. In this paper, we analyze and compare the mechanical properties of the sheet by using two, four and six layers of carbon fiber on PVC sheets . The main aim of this study is to enhance the mechanical properties of PVC sheets by increasing the number of layers of carbon fiber without replacing the sheet and without enhancing the overall cost.

Additive manufacturing has new revolutionary potential for carbon fiber‐reinforced polymers (CFRPs). Additive manufacturing of CFRPs combines the advantages of additive manufacturing such as customization, minimal wastage, low cost, fast prototyping and rapid manufacturing with high specific strength of carbon fiber. This article delivers a comprehensive review of additive manufacturing of short and continuous CFRPs. The article presents insight into different additive manufacturing techniques with an overview of commercially available methods for manufacturing short and continuous CFRPs. This review also includes mechanical characterization and analytical techniques discussed in the literature for CFRPs. The robust applications of short and continuous CFRPs in biomedical, electronics, and aerospace would highlight the importance of research and development in this field. In the end, drawbacks, recent innovations, and the future research directions underline the gap between research and commercialization of additive manufacturing of short and continuous CFRPs.
