Evaluation of baking paper fibers in plastic composite production

Wood Plastic Composites; It is obtained by mixing fibrous lignocellulosic wastes with plastic. In some cases it may show better properties than the material that forms it. Fiber or composite materials are used in Wood Plastic Composite products It is preferred because plastic is combined with various wood raw materials. The usebility of plastic in combination with various waste and recyclable paper materials has increased the tendency to fiber-plastic composite products due to the environmental impacts. In this study, mechanical, physical and thermal properties of fiber plastic composites produced by using baking paper were determined. Single screw Rondol extruder is used in the production of fiber plastic composites. Fiber plastic composites plates were weighed to 160 g and pressed into a 150 mm x 200 mm x 5 mm die. Fiber plastic composites sheets were made of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and maleic anhydride polyethylene (MAPE). It has been determined that the use of baking paper flour in Fiber plastic composites production has no negative effect on physical, mechanical and thermal analyzes. In this study, it has been seen that baking paper wastes can be used as fillers in plastic composite production.
