Abstract

Nowadays, composite materials are supplanting conventional materials because of their upgraded properties. Various research works suggest that composite materials have better properties when contrasted with the existing materials that are for the most part utilized in the automotive and aviation sector. This paper proposes the fabrication and investigation of the mechanical properties of ecofriendly waste plastic-based composites. In this work, the essential fortifications in particular are waste polypropylene and nylon 6,6 utilized in various compositions. The composite at different compositions was tested for structural integrity through compressive strength test and Izod impact test, assessed as per ASTM standards. The result shows that the addition of nylon 6,6 as reinforcement along with polypropylene increases the mechanical properties with the highest value of 2.53 kN for the compressive strength test and 4 joules for the Izod impact test.
