Title : Utilization of non-biodegradable industrial wastes in developing composite materials
Abstract:
Materials are an essential factor to build a more sustainable economy whether through materials for medical / automobile/ aerospace /electronics/ daily need components etc. Each field expecting a material with different properties. For example, aircraft and automobile industries requires light weight with high strength materials. Each day the world asking for new material with enhanced properties. On the other hand, the world is facing disposal of industrial and agricultural waste. Some of the industrial waste which cannot be decomposed, the non-biodegradable waste like plastic, fly ash, synthetic fibers, silver foil, glass objects etc. The rate of accumulation of this waste is increasing day by day. The main challenge is, reutilization of these waste to develop a new material without degrading the properties. In my work made an attempt to develop a new material using some of these wastes. Composite material with different combination and proportions are developed and characterized.
In this session, the discussion on the challenges faced while developing and characterizing the composite material, testing results and also on life and utilization of material for different applications.
Audience Take Away:
- They learn about how to utilize the non-biodegradable industrial waste.
- If they are working in automobile or any other material development industry, they can develop new materials using this waste.
- Defiantly they can expand their research or teaching. There is a lot of scope
- This work provides a practical solution. After developing designer has to tell whether it is suitable or not.
- New material for design problem
- Re utilization of bio-degradable waste material
- Some extent it will reduce accumulation of waste
