Compression Molding of Square Pipe using Wastes of Synthetic and Natural Fabrics

Abstract

The consideration of this work focuses on the application of recycled waste fabrics. The simple compression molding method was proposed here for molding the square pipe with low thermal conductivity by using the waste of synthetic and natural fabrics as molding rare materials. The cut waste of PBS non-woven fabrics and wastes of woven and non-woven natural fabrics such as cotton including air layer were selected as representative wastes of fabrics. The PBS was melted by using hot press as a matrix of square pipe. In the combination of fabrics used in this paper, the molded square pipe has a biodegradable property.
