Work description

Project Title: Additive manufacturing of recycled plastic and value additionDetailed Project Description: Plastics have become essential in everyday life, and global plastic manufacturing has expanded significantly over the last 50 years. Traditional plastics are highly durable, do not decompose easily, and can persist in the environment for many years. They take hundreds of years to break down under normal ambient conditions. Thus, the recovery, recycling, and reuse of plastic solid waste (PSW) is a major challenge today.Recently, additive manufacturing technologies (AMT) have introduced a new dimension to polymer recycling and further processing due to their attractive capabilities. Converting waste plastic into high-value 3D printable fused filament fabrication (FFF) materials encourages the separation and collection of used plastics, potentially improving recycling rates. This helps protect the environment from hazardous threats.Outcomes of the Project: student will learn Recycling of plastics, Additive manufacturing, Mechanical CharacterizationsExpected Results: Further can be convert in to joint publication
