Abstract Scope |
This work studied the influence of eucalyptus wood chips and a clay industry residue as potential reinforcement in castor oil derived polyurethane resin (COPU) composites. The clay residue, also known as chamotte, is a powder obtained from the sintered and discarded clay and the eucalyptus chips were obtained as a residue from the wood processing steps. The composites are made in a room temperature metallic mold by adding from 75 up to 90 vol% wood waste and up to 5 vol% of chamotte together with the COPU resin and its curing agent and left under 10 ton pressure until the polymer cures. Finally, the effect of the reinforcements on the composites was observed by swelling in thickness and izod impact tests. The results shows a good mechanical behavior along with a relatively low swelling indicating a good alternative for the waste disposal. |
