| Abstract Scope |
The increasing concern about waste generation in the industry also encompasses the granite cutting sector. In this context, there is an interest in exploring the potential of these waste materials for applications in new materials. This study aims to evaluate how the incorporation of granite particulates affects the compressive properties of an epoxy system, as well as to characterize the utilized waste material. The waste material was characterized using laser granulometry. Subsequently, the particulates were used in the fabrication of composites at different volumetric fractions of waste (0%, 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, and 50%). These composites were tested according to ASTM D695 and subsequently analyzed through Analysis of Variance and Tukey's test. The obtained results provided information regarding the particle size distribution and density of the waste material, as well as the impact of these wastes on strength of the polymer matrix composites. |
