Características e propriedades de produtos obtidos de formulações entre o resíduo da cerâmica vermelha e o pó do resíduo de pet

Abstract

Recycling means turning used material objects into new products for consumption. This need has been aroused by human beings, from the moment in which the benefits that this procedure brings to the planet Earth have been verified. PET Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate) is a polyester, thermoplastic polymer that provides high mechanical (impact) and chemical resistance. Already the residues of the ceramic industry present substances that affect the properties modifying the behavior of the ceramics. The execution of this work followed the following steps: obtaining, preparation, characterization and formulations among the residues; determination of the properties of the obtained materials and mechanical test. Where the formulations were prepared by adding three different concentrations of red ceramic residues to PET: A (1: 2 of Ceramics / PET), B (1: 1 of Ceramics / PET) and C (2: 1 of Ceramics / PET). The objective of this work was to study the formulations between the red ceramic residue and the PET residue in order to analyze the physical and mechanical properties in order to obtain a material with a formulation with the best characteristics and mechanical properties. The results showed that the addition of PET to the ceramic residue had a different influence on the characteristics and properties of the different formulations, where it was possible to observe that the best formulation obtained was the one with the highest amount of PET (Formulation A).
