Abstract

The current study concerns the preparation and characterization of marmoreal solid surface materials based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) nanocomposites filled with waste stones of marble, granite and basalt. Hydrophilic nanosilica and clay Halloysite nanotubules (HNTs) were the two types of nanofillers used to prepare PMMA/stone waste nanocomposites. The effect of nanofiller type and stone nature was investigated by Rockwell hardness, flexural strength, impact toughness, abrasion loss, water absorption and luminous transmittance measurements. The prepared artificial stone samples have an eye-catching decorative effect of alabaster when lighted from rear using a low energy light source.
