Functionalization of char derived from pyrolysis of metallised food packaging plastics waste and its application as a filler in fiberglass/epoxy composites

Char derived from pyrolysis of plastic wastes represents about 20 wt.% of the released pyrolysis products. In order to maximize the economic benefits and applications of this fraction, this research aims to refine and reprocess char derived from plastic waste into carbon particles, then using it as a micro-filler material for light material applications. The experiments were performed on char derived from pyrolysis of metallised food packaging...
