Abstract
This article deals with the synthesis and structural characterization of glass foams made from cullet and loaded with carbon fibers or used tires for electromagnetic absorption application. All the raw materials used for this work come from recycling or reconditioning. Two carbonaceous loads are tested; the carbon fiber scraps are used because they show an interest in the field of absorption and parallel to this, another load type (tire waste) is used for its high carbon content. This novel later load is used, to our knowledge, for a first time. Samples with different weight contents of the loads are achieved and characterized. The used percentages of loads, are respectively, between 0 and 10 wt.% and between 0 and 20 wt.% for carbon fibers and tire waste. In this article, we present and discuss the elaboration method, the morphological and structural results of the loaded glass foam composites. A low density was obtained from both composite, with a density between 0.28 and 0.53 g/cm3. An excess content of tire waste load leads to “collapse” of the gas bubbles during the heat treatment of the sample which induces an increase in the density of the composite. This is due to the decomposition of this load during the elaboration process. This result is confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy observation and also by gravimetric thermal analysis of the tire waste. Contrary to this, composites loaded with carbon fibers show better structure homogeneity and non-decomposition of carbon fibers during a heat treatment.
