Paper Title
Efficient Utilization of Municipal Solid Waste for the Production of Phenolic Matrix Composite

Abstract
This work is aimed to the production of a phenolic resin composite through the incorporation of fillers derived from municipal solid waste. To this purpose, a partially polymerized resin was fully cured afterthe addition of water, without applying pressure during the cure. Also, a defined quantity of municipal solid waste was added to the mixture and cured with the same conditions. The cure process was accurately set up by exploiting results from rheological analyses. Afterwards, cured samples, with and without fillers, were tested by flexural analyses,in order to evaluate the improvement in the mechanical response due to the addition of the waste.
