APERADOR, W; BAUTISTA, J  and  DELGADO, A. E. Evaluation of mechanical properties of composite materials made from recycled fly ash and polymers. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.27, pp.79-91. ISSN 1692-3324.

In this article evaluates the mechanical properties of composite materials based on fly ash and Coal-fired power plants Termozipa combined with the stretch film (stretch film), linear low density polyethylene post-consumer and partially thermoplastic polymer, crystalline Industrial post. Mixtures were obtained by varying the content of fly ash, 0 to 50 % by weight in each of the three polymeric materials, within a machine type Brabender mixer. The mechanical properties evaluated were: tensile strength, Shore D hardness, and energy absorption, the results obtained indicate that in all cases, as fly ash is added, the mechanical properties increase.

Keywords : Recycled polymers; fly ash; composite material; mechanical properties.
