Activity 2: Processing of composite waste into aggregates and fibres for concrete

Activity 2: Processing of composite waste into aggregates and fibres for concrete

     

A2.2 – Grinding of waste into different granulometries for the intended uses
A2.3 – Collection and chemical-physical characterization of composite waste material
A2.4 – Fiber production: extrusion of formulations with different inorganic content into fibers, process parameter optimization through MFI measurements of various hybrid formulations
A2.5 – Mechanical characterization (tensile strength, ultimate strain, Young’s modulus) and dynamic-mechanical characterization (elastic modulus, dissipative modulus, and loss factor) of the fibers
A2.6 – Fiber morphology using SEM and classification according to EN 14889-2, thermal behavior analysis using TGA and DSC, density and water absorption analysis
A2.7 – Pull-out tests to verify the bond of recycled fiber to the cement matrix
