Thermal, thermomechanical and structural properties of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET)/waste marble dust composites.

ABSTRACT: The main objective of this work is to review the capability of using waste marble dust (MD) particles as reinforcing materials in recycled polymeric composites to achieve environmentally friendly materials. In the present study, polymer composites were fabricated from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and MD and then analyzed for their structural and thermal properties. Preparation of rPET-based composites containing 0-20 wt% MD was carried out through extrusion and injection molding. For their characterization Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were applied. The DSC analysis revealed a nucleating effect of MD on rPET, which was manifested in a higher cryst
