Mechanical properties of composite material reinforced with textile waste from the process of tyres recycling

摘要

The paper deals with the polymeric fibre composite with the reinforcement on the basis of the waste from the process of the tyres recycling. The aim of the research was the use of the material of cleaned textile waste from the process of the tyres recycling. The secondary waste raw material was used as filler in the composite. The subject of performed experiments was the polymeric composite, whose continuous phase was in a form of a two-component epoxy adhesive (GlueEpox Rapid) and a discontinuous phase in a form of microfibers from the process of tyres recycling. The experiments results proved that the composite materials based on the textile waste from the process of the tyres recycling reached an increase of an impact strength, a tensile lap-shear strength and an elongation of the adhesive bond (to 2.5% vol.). The textile microfiller has a negative influence on the tensile strength and elongation of adhesives.
