Investigation of mechanical properties of composite materials made of carbon fibers waste

The new materials produced by using waste materials both environmental and economical provides several benefits. İn this context, design of composite materials are used as a reinforcement of textile waste attention as an alternative method for the utilizing waste. İn this study, the purpose of textile waste recycling and waste fibers used as a reinforcement material is intended to get the polymer matrix composite structures.In this study, the definition of carbon fibers and composite materials given with their usage and production methods. In the experimental studies, composite materials made from carbon fibers that satisfy the needs of modern era.In the experimental part of this study, three compozit plaka prodused using different weights carbon waste. Tensile and shear strength of the plates were measured in order to obtain the mechanical proerties such as the tensile strengh and elongation and shear strength and elongation. The data obtained from the experimental results were evaluated and compared statistically.
