Abstract

It is a great challenge to prepare light weight materials using E-waste products which are difficult to recycle to contribute as a new product due to its inefficiency to recombine with its physico-chemical characteristics. This work aims to prepare and test samples prepared by the E-waste scrap glass mixed with polymer matrix material proportioned with glass fibre. Composites with different filler ratio (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%) are prepared. Tests were performed to calculate tensile properties, flexural strength of the composites. Based on the tensile and flexural test it is depicted that composite with 6% filler material exhibits enhanced properties due to the strong bonding between filler and the matrix material.
