Abstract:

The objective of this project was to develop novel composite materials for infrastructure applications by recycling nylon based waste carpets. These novel composites have been proven to possess improved mechanical and sound barrier properties to meet the needs of infrastructure in the transportation industry as sound barrier walls at the highway turnpike. This was achieved by scaling up the Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) technique of manufacturing carpet composites. Additionally, these composites were also tested and characterized for long-term stable mechanical properties through the introduction of nano-sized fillers for improved resistance to moisture and UV. This project has proven the concept of innovative-engineered composite materials with tailored mechanical and physical properties from discarded waste carpet reducing its impact on the environment. In particular, this project will take advantage of the 3-D fiber architecture, aspect ratio of the carpet fibers and the layered nature of the discarded carpet to provide a unique combination of impact, mechanical and acoustic insulation properties that could be advantageous to the infrastructure and transportation industries.
