“…So, these thermoplastics are combined with some reinforcing agent like short or long natural fibers [14] , inorganic fibers [15] and synthetic fibers [16] etc. This is usually done to cover the frontier line separation between commodity and engineering polymers [17] . Carbon fiber (CF) is one of the most widely used reinforcements served as to improve the properties of plastics.…”

“…In the last years, a strong increase in environmental concerns has arisen. This fact, together with the continuous increase in petroleum prices and the overall depletion of fossil fuels have led to intensive research on the development of environmentally friendly materials [1]. One of the engineering fields that have experienced a more valuable growth is that related to composite materials with natural fillers/reinforcements such as natural fiber reinforced plastics (NFRP) and wood plastic composites (WPC) [2].…”

This work investigates the feasibility of using coffee silverskin (CSS) as a reinforcing agent in biobased polyethylene (BioPE) composites, by adding it in bulk and thin film samples. The effect of two different treatments, alkali bleaching (CSS_A) and esterification with palmitoyl chloride (CSS_P), on mechanical, thermal, morphological and water absorption behavior of produced materials at different CSS loading (10, 20 and 30 wt %) was investigated. A reactive graft copolymerization of BioPE with maleic anhydride was considered in the case of alkali treated CSS. It was found that, when introduced in bulk samples, improvement in the elastic modulus and a reduction in strain at maximum stress were observed with the increase in CSS fraction for the untreated and treated CSS composites, while the low aspect ratio of the CSS particles and their poor adhesion with the polymeric matrix were responsible for reduced ductility in films, decreasing crystallinity values and reduction of elastic moduli. When CSS_A and CSS_P are introduced in the matrix, a substantial reduction in the water uptake is also obtained in films, mainly due to presence of maleated PE, that builds up some interactions to eliminate the amounts of OH groups and hydrophobized CSS, due to the weakened absorption capacity of the functionalized CSS.

“…In this approach, the use of materials from renewable resources is evolving as a solution to the issues related to petroleum depletion and the carbon footprint [1,2]. In fact, this approach has been the leading force to the development of some polymers from renewable resources as it is the case of bio-polyethylene which is alternately obtained through a biochemical route by Braskem starting from biobased feedstocks such as sugarcane [3,4].…”

Processing and Characterization of Environmentally Friendly Composites from Biobased Polyethylene and Natural Fillers from Thyme Herbs

The main aim of this research work is to assess the potential of a distillery waste from thyme as multifunctional filler in natural fiber reinforced plastics (NFRP) with biobased polyethylene matrix. Several ethylene-based copolymers with different co-monomers (vinyl alcohol, methyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate and acrylic acid) were used as compatibilizer agents to overcome the lack of compatibility between the highly hydrophobic matrix and the highly hydrophilic lignocellulosic filler. The effect of the compatibilizer type and amount, as well as the lignocellulosic filler content was followed by thermal, mechanical, morphological and rheological characterizations. In addition to the typical filler effect, thyme also provides a remarkable increase in thermal stability at moderate temperatures with a positive effect on widening the processing window. The compatibilizer agent that offers best balanced properties is the glycidyl methacrylate copolymer with a noticeable increase in stiffness, flexural and tensile strength. Regarding processability, the viscosity increases with the filler content. This is highly important at low shear rates but the effect is almost negligible at high shear rates typical of injection molding processes.
