“…Faisal and Salmah investigated the mechanical and thermal properties of compatibilized waste office white paper (WOWP) filled low density polyethylene composites (LDPE) [4]. They concluded that the tensile strength and the Young's modulus of LDPE/WOWP composites increase with WOWP filler loading.…”

In this study some physical, mechanical and thermal characteristics of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and CaCO3 coated/pigmented wood free paper fiber composites were investigated. The fillers used in this study were uncoated cellulose, 5.8 %, 11.5 %, 16.5 % and 23.1 % CaCO3 coated wood free paper fibers. Each filler type was mixed with HDPE at 40% by weight fiber loading. In this case, the ratio of CaCO3 in plastic composites was calculated as 0 %, 2.3 %, 4.6 %, 6.6 % and 9.2 % respectively. Increased CaCO3 ratio improved the moisture resistant, flexural and tensile strength of cellulose-HDPE composites. However, the density of the cellulose-HDPE composites increased with CaCO3 addition. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy on Scanning Electron Microscope analysis demonstrated the uniform distribution of CaCO3 and cellulose fiber in plastic matrix. In addition, the thermal properties of fiber plastic composites were investigated. The results of Differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that the crystallinity of the samples decreased with increasing CaCO3 content. Consequently, this work showed that CaCO3 coated waste paper fibers could be used as reinforcing filler against water absorption in thermoplastic matrix.

“…A large variety of chemicals have been used in this compatibilization, but the success depends on the type of fibers, the polymer used, the choice and method of treatment, and the optimum level of modification achieved. 12,13 Many studies have been conducted on the biodegradation and biodegradability of PLA biocomposites, with particular emphasis on microbial and enzymatic degradation. 14,15 Proteinase K from Tritirachium album, subtilisin, a microbial serine protease has been employed in the PLA biodegradation.…”

This work examined the effects of filler content and chemical treatment on the biodegradation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/coconut shell (CS) biocomposites in a diastase enzyme-containing buffer medium. CS was treated with two distinct chemical treatments: maleic acid and silanation with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APE). The CS was incorporated into PLA composites and their biodegradation patterns were studied. Both of the treated PLA/CS biocomposites exhibited lower biodegradation rates than the untreated biocomposites due to their enhanced interfacial adhesion, which reduced the area exposed to enzyme hydrolysis. Scanning electron micrographs taken after 30 days of biodegradation displayed surface roughening on both of the treated biocomposites, with fewer voids compared to the untreated biocomposites. The differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the glass transition temperature and melting temperature values of the treated biocomposites increased but that crystallinity declined. The crystallization temperature peak apparently disappeared due to the polymer chain alignment and rearrangement of the shorter PLA chains caused by the degradation. Fourier transform infrared analysis revealed the structural changes in the biocomposites after biodegradation, indicating the presence of soluble lactic acid as was confirmed by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy analysis.

“…Also, the amount of filler increased from 0 to 40%, and tensile and modulus strength faced an increase. 10 The purpose of this research is to build a wood-plastic composite using waste Tetra Pak™. Thus, some composites were made of timber powder and Tetra Pak™ (0, 40), (10,30), (20, 20), and (10 and 30%) proportion and maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene (LDPE) coordinated (0, 3%) to investigate their physical and mechanical properties.…”

The present study seeks to investigate the effect of beverage storage carton (Tetra Pak™) waste and maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene (MAPE), coordinated to light polyethylene on the mechanical properties of wood–plastic composites. Four levels of Tetra Pak™ (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) and two levels MAPE (0% and 3%) were used. At first, the materials were mixed in a Haake internal mixer and then the samples were made through the injection molding method. The results showed that the composites containing 30% of Tetra Pak™ and 3% MAPE have the highest strength and tensile modulus. Moreover, the sample Tetra Pak™ and containing 3% of MAPE has the highest impact resistance. These results have been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.
