Abstract
Eco-materials are becoming the hot topic in recent years due to the impact of synthetic and conventional materials on environments and the cost of resources. On the other hand, there is another equally important issue related to the disposing of waste materials. This project is motivated to address those two issues by developing new epoxy composites based on waste ceramic powder. Tensile behaviour of the newly developed composites with different weight percent of waste ceramic will be investigated. Adhesive wear and frictional performance of the newly developed composites will be studied. The failure mechanisms will be addressed with the aid of the scanning electron microscopy. The main findings of the work are that tensile strength of the composite reduced with the presence of the waste ceramic due the generation of voids in the composites. The wear resistance of the composites dramatically increased with the presence of the waste ceramics. The wear mechanisms of the composites are controlled by film generated on the composites and its stability. In the case of the composite the film was strong and not easy to get removed in oppose to the pure epoxy.
