This analysis shows the impact of different fillers on mechanical and anticorrosive properties, indicating waste materials can enhance composite performance.
Low‐density polythene waste and Kota stone slurry are the two significant and hazardous wastes, which were used as filler in the present research paper. The current study deals with the formation of waste polyethylene‐coated raw and base‐activated Kota stone slurry, which were used as filler in epoxy composites. The rheological, mechanical, and anticorrosive properties of these epoxy composites were evaluated. The four distinct fillers used were raw Kota stone slurry (r‐KSS), waste polyethylene‐coated raw Kota stone slurry (wpc‐r‐KSS), base‐activated‐Kota stone slurry (Ba‐KSS), and waste polyethylene‐coated base‐activated Kota stone slurry (wpc‐Ba‐KSS) and their corresponding epoxy composites (EPC) named as r‐KSS‐EPC, wpc‐r‐KSS‐EPC, Ba‐KSS‐EPC, wpc‐Ba‐KSS‐EPC. The metastable phase (MSP) of waste polyethylene was successfully coated over the KSS particles, according to FTIR, XRD, and SEM‐EDX investigations of resultant filler. The FTIR and XRD studies reveal the successful formation of epoxy composites. The evaluation of gelation time of the synthesized hybrid filler‐reinforced epoxy composites implies that optimum gel time improves the mechanical characteristics and anticorrosive behavior of composites. The coating of hydrocarbon enhances the hydrophobic properties, which successfully prevent the entry of corrosive ions and polar solvents on metallic surface. The results reveal that wpc‐Ba‐KSS‐EPC shows highest anticorrosive properties with optimal gelation time.
