Composites Derived from Post-Consumer Nylon 6 Carpet

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-05-12) Muzzy, John D. ; Wang, Youjiang ; Satcher, Melinda ; Shaw, Bryan ; McNamara, Andrew ; Jin, Kun ; Norton, Josh

Over 2 million tons of post-consumer carpet is landfilled each year. This waste carpet is a potential resource for composites. This paper focuses on the processing and properties of nylon 6 post-consumer carpet. The carpet is cleaned, shredded and extrusion pelletized. This feedstock is compounded with glass fibers and compatibilizers. Based on the properties achieved and the projected costs, applications are identified.
Preliminary Process Design for Depolymerizing Nylon 6 Carpet in a Twin Screw Extruder

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-05-13) Muzzy, John D.

Preliminary design and economic evaluations will be presented for the depolymerization of nylon 6 carpet in a twin screw extruder. The effects of plant size and selected processing conditions on crude caprolactam conversion costs will be illustrated.
Plastics Processing from Recycled Fibers

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001-05-01) Muzzy, John D.

This workshop addresses material and processing issues in converting fiber wastes into plastic products. Examples of products derived from recycled fibers will be presented. The use of additives, compatibilizers and reinforcements to enhance properties will be illustrated. For mixed fiber waste the issue of what must be removed and what can be retained will be addressed.

Recycling of Carpet Waste by Injection and Compression Molding

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1997-05-19) Zhang, Yi ; Muzzy, John D. ; Kumar, Satish

Studies have been carried out to convert carpet waste into valued products. Two common processes, injection and compression molding, can be used to recycle carpet waste. Two types of carpet waste have been recycled. One is edge trim carpet waste from manufacturing and the other one is separated polypropylene from post-consumer carpet waste. In injection molding, carpet waste was debulked, ground, dried and molded. In compression molding, the recycled carpet waste was combined with glass mat reinforcement. The compression molding process consists of debulking, stacking with glass mats and consolidation. The mechanical testing results are encouraging. The injection molded samples showed properties acceptable for many applications. The glass mat reinforced carpet waste made by compression molding had properties comparable to commercial virgin thermoplastics reinforced with glass mat.
