“…It can therefore be concluded that the mechanical properties of particulate plastic-based composites depend significantly on the particle size of the inorganic fillers, considering the facts that the chemical compositions of three types of CA are similar, and the particle sizes of CA are smaller than that of the slag aggregate. The experimental findings comply with the literature that the mechanical properties improve as the particle size of fillers decreases in inorganic particle-reinforced polymeric composites [ 11 , 34 ]. Parvaiz et al [ 35 ] also concluded that the smaller particle-sized fillers substantially increased the specific area of the filler, which could effectively improve the load transfer between polymer matrix and reinforcing fillers.…”

“…Yao et al [ 7 ] used circulating fluidized bed combustion fly ashes as a filler after they were coated by stearic acid in polymer composites to increase the toughness of the composites. In addition, Khoshnoud and Abu-Zahra [ 11 ] experimentally studied the effect of the particle size of fly ash on the mechanical properties of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix composites.…”

This experimental research investigates the mechanical properties of municipal plastic waste-based particulate composites reinforced with coal ash (CA), the by-product of thermal power plants, for sustainable railway sleepers. Six series of sustainable composites filled with inorganic mineral fillers, including CA, were prepared by a twin-screw extruder and a compression molding machine. The effect of mix design variables—such as filler type, contents and the particle size of the filler—on mechanical properties—including tensile, compression and flexural properties—and morphology were characterized. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine the morphology of the composites, which revealed the uniform dispersion of fillers in the polymer matrix. The study results conclude that the recycled plastic-based composite with the addition of CA up to 60% is suitable for railway sleeper applications. This experimental study may provide new insight into the railway applications of the developed composites under service loading conditions including traffic loading and earthquake.

“…[10] Different types of fillers or aggregates like clay and fly ash were used with polymer to overcome these problems. [11,12] Results showed that fly ash has the ability to act as pozzolonic material that may react for a long and prolonged period to strengthen the composites. [11] The addition of a second or co-polymer to a cement or clay mix can significantly enhance the properties of the resulting material.…”

Different loading of Portland cement (PC) (10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%) was used to produce epoxy-based polymer concrete. The optimum loading was used to prepare another sample using hydration in presence of air circulation. The polymer concretes were characterized in terms of mechanical, thermal, structural and morphological properties. The properties showed increasing trends after cement addition. Results showed that the tensile strength of the polymer concretes were improved by 37.2%, 115.5%, 165.9%, and 40.6% for loading of 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt% cement, respectively. In addition, the flexural strength of the polymer concretes was also enhanced and found maximum (175.3% higher) in 30 wt% concrete compared to neat epoxy. Other mechanical properties of the polymer concrete were also found increasing. Moreover, decomposition temperature was raised nearly 15 C for adding 30 wt% cement which was the maximum among the other polymer concretes. For the case of hydration in presence of air circulation, the prepared composite showed the highest tensile mechanical performance with improved surface topography. From the results, it was concluded that the addition of cement into the epoxy was very effective to produce polymer concretes.

“…The native composite had a tensile strength of 45.4 MPa and this increased to a value of 61.6 MPa for 30% filler of 300 mesh size and later strength reduced to a value of 52.3 MPa for 50% filler of the same size. The surface area is higher for smaller particles size; therefore better interfacial adhesion and load transfer between filler and polymer thus improved mechanical properties [24]. At higher filler concentration tensile strength decreased this was probably because of agglomeration of OPA additives thus causing premature failure [25].…”

Oil palm ash (OPA) is an agro-industry waste and it has disposable problems. In the present study, an effort was made for value addition to OPA by incorporating it as a micro-filler in different concentration (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) and sizes (100, 200, and 300 mesh size particles) in the epoxy matrix. Prepared micro OPA was having a crystallinity index of 65.4%, high inorganic elements, and smooth surface morphology. Fabricated composites had higher void content as compared to neat epoxy matrix. Mechanical properties of fabricated composites had a maximum value at 30% loading of 300 mesh-size filler due to its low void content and size as compared to filler of 100 and 200 mesh size. Further increase in the concentration of OPA filler after 30 wt% of loading leads to the agglomeration of OPA microparticles and thereby resulted in the reduction of mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composites. However, elongation at break decreased with increase in filler content at all percentage. Thermal stability and char residue percentage of composite increased with the concentration of filler at all percentage. Surface morphology of composite showed that OPA incorporation lead towards its roughness and cracks were originated from the site of OPA embedded in the epoxy matrix. The 300 meshsize particles were having the best effect on composite as compared to 100 and 200 mesh-size filler.
