Plastics are unavoidable at this times, putting our planet in danger. The Prosopis juliflora (PJ) thorns are collected, processed, and powdered. The mechanical characteristics of these powders are examined when combined with polymer composites. Pores are the main cause of moisture input, hence using powder filler materials reduces the number of pores in the composite, increasing water resistance. The composites are made by altering three parameters: waste plastic content, filler powder composition, and chemical treatment. It was discovered that the integration of thorn powder increased the wear resistance. The composites were tested in accordance with ASTM standards, and the results were optimized. Based on the results, composite specimens were created and tested for validation.
目前塑料无处不在,这使我们的星球面临危险。对牧豆树(PJ)的刺进行收集、加工并制成粉末。将这些粉末与聚合物复合材料混合时,会对其机械特性进行检测。孔隙是水分进入的主要原因,因此使用粉末填充材料可减少复合材料中的孔隙数量,从而提高防水性。通过改变三个参数来制备复合材料:废塑料含量、填充粉末成分和化学处理。研究发现,刺粉的加入提高了耐磨性。复合材料按照ASTM标准进行测试,并对结果进行了优化。基于这些结果,制作了复合材料试样并进行测试以进行验证。
