Mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene/clay roof tiles waste (PP/CRTW) composites

The usage of clay roof tiles waste as a filler in composite was studied. Polypropylene (PP) composites of clay roof tiles wastes (CRTW) for low strength applications were prepared at filler contents 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. Unfilled PP used as reference sample. The clay roof tiles wastes were...
