dc.description.abstractIn this study, plastic [polyethylene terephthalate (PET)] waste was recycled as raw material for the preparation of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A-type epoxy composite materials. The other inexpensive fillers used to prepare the composites were wood shavings char and pine cone char (PCC), obtained from natural resources. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that plastic waste char (PWC) and PCC can significantly improve the thermal stability of neat epoxy resin at temperatures above 300 degrees C. The best thermal and electrical conductivity results were obtained with PWC. The residual weight of the composite with 30 wt% PWC was 69%. Surface hardness, Young's modulus, and tensile strength of the composites were higher than those with a pure epoxy polymer matrix. The composite morphology was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. POLYM. COMPOS., 2013. (c) 2013 Society of Plastics Engineersen_US
