Using additives to enhance the compressive strength of particulate composites
The primary aim of this study is to improve the compressive strength (CS) of the particulate composites. This is accomplished by mixing a polymer base with various additives, such as sawdust (SD), aluminium (Al), and iron (Fe) particles. The necessary composites are produced by adding varying weight...

| description | The primary aim of this study is to improve the compressive strength (CS) of the particulate composites. This is accomplished by mixing a polymer base with various additives, such as sawdust (SD), aluminium (Al), and iron (Fe) particles. The necessary composites are produced by adding varying weight percentages (wt%), i.e., 5, 10, and 15% weight-by-weight (w/w) of the additive compounds. In this study, the researchers employed a hand-moulding approach to produce a compressed composite. The experimental findings indicated improved CS value of some of the composites. These findings were influenced by factors such as the type of additives, density, wt% of the additive, and the properties of particle dispersion within the polymer. It was noted that when 15% (w/w) of Fe particles were added to the compound, the CS value improved by 23%. Despite an excellent dispersion of particles within the polymer, a minimum improvement in CS of 12% was observed after the addition of 10 wt% of SD particles. |
