Recycling of Plastics Metals and Their Composites

<p>Having a solid understanding of materials recycling is of high importance especially due to the growing use of composites in many industries and increasingly strict legislation and concerns about the disposal of composites in landfills or by incineration. <b>Recycling of Plastics Metals and Their Composites</b><i> </i>provides a comprehensive review of the recycling of waste polymers and metal composites. It provides the latest advances and covers the fundamentals of recycled polymers and metal composites such as preparation morphology and physical mechanical thermal and flame-retardancy properties.</p><p>FEATURES</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Offers a state-of-the-art review of the recycling of polymer composites and metal composites for sustainability</li> <p> </p> <li>Describes a life-cycle analysis to help readers understand the true potential value and market for these recycled materials</li> <p> </p> <li>Details potential applications of recycled polymer and metal composites</li> <p> </p> <li>Includes the performance of natural fiber–reinforced recycled thermoplastic polymer composites under aging conditions and the recycling of multi-material plastics</li> <p> </p> <li>Covers recycling technologies opportunities and challenges for polymer-matrix composites</li> </ul><p>This book targets technical professionals in the metal and polymer industries as well as researchers scientists and advanced students.
