Study of the Mechanical Properties of Polyester Based GFRP Composites in E-Waste from Mobile Phones Displays

Abstract

Everyone now lives in a technologically highly hybridised environment; mobile technology is regarded as one of the most significant of all technologies. Inside the phone is the entire world. This article primarily focuses on recycling e-waste into composites (especially waste from mobile phones). The range of products used for this study included basic and smartphones. The primary product chosen was the display glass from smartphones. With the use of recent literature reviews, the problem was identified. Many studies focused on polyester resins with ceramic powders and their composites. The mobile display powder has been mixed with Polyester resin. The mobile phone display electronic waste (MPDEW), like polyester resin, was cost-effective. Mobile phone waste was used as filler in various proportions including 0, 5 and 10 %. To determine the effect of e-waste with polymer composites, the mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, flexural, and impact were undertaken. The scanning electron microscope was also used for the microstructural analysis.
