Structure and properties of composite materials from fibreglass wastes and thermosetting binder

Abstract

The possibility of the use of ground fibreglass wastes as fillers and thermosetting resins as binders to manufacture the articles for household and constructive use have been studied. Parameters of the mechanical properties of materials with different fraction composition have been determined. Influence of the mechanical action on particle size has been studied. Experimental test for checking the possibility of component combination has been carried out. Quality of materials has been examined. Recommendations for the use of the existing technologies in the manufacture of articles have been worked out. The obtained results can be used in developing product design, in determining the areas and conditions of their effective application as well as in choosing technologies for their processing.
