dc.description.abstract |
Building construction can be considered as one of
the indispensable industries in the world. Even though the
necessity of the industry is evident, its current practices are not
environmentally friendly. Some of the main reasons for this is
the usage of unsustainable raw materials such as sand and soil,
as well as the usage of harmful non-biodegradable materials
such as PVC, asbestos. When considering the applications of
raw materials used in the construction industry, nearly 40% of
them are used for manufacturing non-load bearing
constructions such as partitioning materials. In this research, a
method for manufacturing a novel biodegradable movable
partitioning material has been discussed. This partitioning
material is a composite, created with banana yarn as
reinforcement, Poly-lactic acid as the matrix, manufactured
using compression moulding technique. Furthermore, two
different types of composites were manufactured by changing
the yarn laying directions, which are unidirectional and
bidirectional. Flexural and impact strength of both types of
composites have been tested by varying the weight percentage,
the pretension of yarns and processing parameters: moulding
temperature and moulding pressure. Finally, several weight
percentages, pre-tensioning values, moulding temperatures and
moulding pressure values have been suggested in order to
manufacture a quality partitioning material. |
