Evaluación de las propiedades físico-mecánicas de la mezcla PEAD con fibras de Maíz. Una perspectiva energética y de costeo para su industrialización

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the physical-mechanical properties of the three mixtures of high-density polyethylene and corn fiber, based on the environmental problems that plastic is generating in our ecosystem, having recycling plastic as raw material. high density polyethylene and waste from the corn plant. For the physical properties, the theoretical densities of three composite materials and their components, which are vegetable fiber and high-density polyethylene, were calculated. For the mechanical properties, bending, tension, and compression tests were carried out on the Shimadzu AGX- V, with which results of maximum tension, maximum deformation and elastic modulus were obtained. At the same time, the energy costs and CO2 emissions were calculated based on the KWh of each machine used, in the same way we proceeded to apply the ABC methodology, with this the monetary costs of a ton produced from the composite materials were estimated. industrial.
