“…Ceramic waste has been utilized in the production of thermally stable geo-polymers [2]. Enhanced mechanical resistance was investigated in alumina waste based polymer composites [3]. PANI based red mud composites were prepared by Gok and his coworkers and examined conductivity in the range of 0.42-5.2 Scm À1 [4].…”

Natural resources are non-renewable and facing a regular depletion due to their immense use which demands new and additional material's reserves, recycling technologies and materials with no or less bad environmental effects. Reuse of waste materials will be rewarding technically, economically and environmentally. Here, we report the incorporation of industrial ceramic wastes in polymer matrix as composite materials to investigate their potentials for various applications. Ceramic wastes were collected from the premises of ceramic producing industries located at Peshawar (Pakistan). The composites of ceramic particles and polyaniline (PANI) were produced via in-situ free polymerization technique. SEM and FT-IR analysis confirmed composite formation. Thermal, dielectric and mechanical properties of the prepared materials were studied. It was found that both the constituent materials (ceramic and polymer) have a synergistic effect on each other. At one hand, ceramic wastes support and enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of the polymer in composites and the polymer in turn beautify the wastes with good dielectric and electrical properties. Based on their properties, the low cost and environmentally friendly novel composites could be used for various applications such as semi-conductors, capacitors and microwave devices.

“…The problem of increasing amount of solid wastes, which the major portion covered by the plastic products is putting pressure on the environment which also can caused skin problem and other diseases [2,15]. Different approaches have been practiced to anticipate the issues related to the plastic wastes that jeopardize the environment.…”

“…Researchers and engineers from the civil engineering are scavenging to fully utilize the plastic wastes or by partial substitution in the civil engineering practices. Shredded plastics have potential to partially replaced the aggregate and sand replacement in the concrete [6,15]. The addition of plastic wastes into the engineering and construction materials or by partial replacement of natural materials is capable of achieving engineeringly sound and environmentally friendly properties for strength and durability equivalent to and sometimes better than, materials formulated using the more expensive and increasingly unsustainable traditional construction materials such as Portland Cement (PC).…”

Plastic bag wastes (PE) are used to improve the workability of concrete and expected to reduce the plastic wastes in our environment. Polymer products such as synthetic fibers, plastics and rubbers are belonged to petrochemical compound and considered as non-biodegradable materials. One way of reducing the plastic wastes is by utilizing the plastic wastes in the production of concrete. This study investigates the dry density properties of concrete that utilize plastic wastes and polymer fiber to replace the cement, followed by finding the compressive, tensile and flexural strength of the concrete and finally, to compare the performance of concrete that utilize plastic wastes and polymer fiber vs. concrete with plastic wastes only. An extensive experimental study has been performed by utilizing the plastic wastes in concrete using a percentage of 10%, 20% and 30% and polymer fiber with percentage of 2%, 4% and 6% respectively. Results have showed the tendency of lower density in the polymer modified concrete. The utilization of waste polymer in the replacement of cement reduces compressive and flexural strength of concrete. This is probably due to bridging action provided by the fibers which absorbed more energy and prevent the sudden failure of the concrete. On the other hand, lower mechanical properties of the modified concrete that used plastic wastes and polymer fibers have been recorded in the study.

“…Estudos reconhecem que a incorporação desses resíduos e rejeitos em materiais cimentícios pode reduzir custos e promover benefícios ambientais (SAIKIA; BRITO, 2014;TONET;GORNINSKI, 2013;FRIGIONE, 2010). Assim, o que se observa na literatura científica é uma significativa quantidade de estudos com concretos e incorporação de resíduos poliméricos.…”

Resumo Analisou-se o desempenho físico-mecânico de placas e pavers com incorporação de rejeitos da coleta seletiva do município de Blumenau, SC. Tais rejeitos são compostos de orgânicos, polímeros, papéis, vidro e têxteis, que foram reduzidos de tamanho (2,4 mm a 19,0 mm) e substituíram o agregado miúdo natural nos percentuais de 5%, 10%, 20% e 30%. Para o compósito no estado fresco verificou-se o índice de consistência, e no estado endurecido determinaram-se massa específica aparente, absorção de água e resistência à compressão. As placas foram submetidas ao ensaio de resistência à flexão e à análise de microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A massa específica aparente das placas variou de 0,8 a 1,6 g.cm-3, e dos pavers, de 1,78 a 1,84 g.cm-3. Para menores quantidades de rejeitos incorporados, os dois materiais apresentaram índices de absorção de água que satisfazem as exigências de normas correlatas. As placas apresentaram valores de resistência à compressão que variaram de 4,7 MPa a 14,6 MPa. Na flexão, os valores atingidos foram de 0,1 MPa a 1,8 MPa. Os pavers alcançaram valores de resistência à compressão entre 10,8 MPa e 18,7 MPa. Pavers com 5% de incorporação de agregados de rejeitos seriam passíveis de ser aplicáveis em calçadas e meios-fios desde que estudos futuros garantam sua durabilidade.
