The aim is to explore the use of construction and demolition waste as aggregates in epoxy composites to improve material performance and sustainability.
Incorporated recycled concrete and brick aggregates into epoxy resin-based composites at various filling ratios.
Conducted tests on physical and mechanical properties, including compressive and bending tensile strength, through three recycling cycles.
Performed microstructural analysis to assess the impact of recycling on resin and aggregate properties.
Composites with brick aggregate achieved compressive strengths up to 60 MPa, surpassing reference material.
Partial filling with concrete aggregate improved bending tensile strength and reduced brittleness.
Composites displayed good water resistance and superior strength-to-area efficiency compared to conventional materials.
