The great number of glasses available from recycling activity and vitrification treatment of industrial wastes leads to the need for new applications, with the development of new materials, such as low-cost composite materials from a powder technology route. In the present work a variety of recycled glasses is investigated, in order to obtain aluminium reinforced glass matrix composites via cold-pressing and viscous flow sintering. A good compatibility between lead silicate glasses from cathode ray tubes dismantling and aluminium reinforcement is found to be effective. Composites exhibiting good mechanical properties were developed from these materials. A particular attention was due to fracture toughness (KIC) determination. The absolute KIC of glass matrix composites value remains low, but a notable increment in relation to unreinforced matrix is observed.

Abstract

The great number of glasses available from recycling activity and vitrification treatment of industrial wastes leads to the need for new applications, with the development of new materials, such as low-cost composite materials from a powder technology route. In the present work a variety of recycled glasses is investigated, in order to obtain aluminium reinforced glass matrix composites via cold-pressing and viscous flow sintering. A good compatibility between lead silicate glasses from cathode ray tubes dismantling and aluminium reinforcement is found to be effective. Composites exhibiting good mechanical properties were developed from these materials. A particular attention was due to fracture toughness (KIC) determination. The absolute KIC of glass matrix composites value remains low, but a notable increment in relation to unreinforced matrix is observed.
