Abstract

Polymer concrete composites have been accepted by various manufacturers and widely used as a structural material for machine tools due to their tremendous properties such as compressive stress, flexural strength and damping capacity. In the current scenario, it has been found that many industrial waste materials can be used as aggregates/fillers for polymer concrete (PC) composites. Also by adopting suitable recycling methods, polyester polymer can be obtained from industrial waste and can be suitably used as a binder for the fabrication of the composites.
