Abstract:

In this study, the production of polymeric composite material was carried out using grape nuts, which is an agricultural waste, and the use as a wooden material was studied. Polymeric binders have been used as ure-formaldehyde rhinese. The mechanical resistance and combustion characteristics of the composite material have been studied in different polymers/adders (1/1, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4) ratio. The increase in the polymer ratio in the structure has increased both mechanical resistance and combustion. The composite material containing equal proportion of polymer and filling material has a mechanical resistance of 6.2 MPa and a LOI value of 50. It has been observed that the nane fiber added to the structure to improve the resistance of the material has developed mechanical resistance. The increase in the filling material in the composite material has also been observed with an increase in the water absorption capacity. The findings showed that polymeric composite material prepared using cranberries could be an alternative to wooden materials.
