In today’s generation, people are looking forward to
innovate in the segment of getting the best out of waste. This is because, the
awareness for saving the environment is widespread and people now know, what is
the cost of losing the same.
Students of Global Institute of Management and emerging
Technologies have done a brilliant job by devising a composite material, which
is developed from waste polymer to make useful products like helmets, car
bumpers, and windmill blades, which are even stronger than the present versions
of the same.
The students achieved this milestone, along with the help of
the faculty of the Mechanical engineering Department of the institute. Prof
Vijay Bhanot, associate professor, Mechanical Engineering said that it is
probably one of the first of its kind innovation, made using the waste. The
products used in making this material, includes shavings of polymer, like PVC
pipes, and more.
Under the guidance of Prof Vijay Bhanot, students of fourth
year of the MET developed this composite material. The names of these students
are, Angel Bajaj, Amrojpreet Singh, Amritpal Singh, Amoldeep Singh and Amritjot
Singh.
The material created can be used at a number of places, and
the components that it consists of are, PVC waste, hardener, binder, lubricant
and the metal sheets which are used for preparation of dyes along with a few
more.
A lot of trial and error experiments were carried out to
bring these materials to the desired use. As per professor, there is a lot of
technicalities involved in using these products, around nine samples were
designed by crushing PVC wastage into different levels of microns, from 850 to
600 to 425 and different compositions of hardener and binder were mixed with
this. Once the sample materials were prepared, they were then tested for the
roughness of surface, its strength and to know the compressive load and impact
load of the same. The final product devised, it is such that it can be used at
various levels.
