Development of durable building material for window mechanism through sustainable low-cost composites

Abstract

The aim of the current work is to develop fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) from iron wood fibers that offer superior mechanical properties to traditional synthetic fibers and modern woods and may replace them by overcoming their shortcomings.) is to manufacture. We analysed the mechanical properties at different percentages of fiber content in FRC. H. At 10%, 15% and 20%, including alkaline treatment, at different time intervals from 0 to 8 h, with each percentage increasing by 2 h. This also enables the reuse of polyester resins, reducing plastic waste in the 21st century environment. Considering the overall environmental impact, the excellent cyclical properties of FRC scrap allow up to 20% recycling compared to other composite materials. The hand layup manufacturing process also allowed us to control the weight of the final structure and the cost of manufacturing the prototype pieces. Significant impact of this composite can be seen in the manufacturing sector of the transportation industry and in traditional wood-based home appliances. The market analysis conducted gives a positive direction in assessing the need of a sustainable and durable window mechanism for which the developed material intends to be used.
