Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...
