Polyvinyl chloride remains one of the most prevalent polymers in the industry, yet its substantial environmental impact, attributed to its fossil origin, prompts the exploration of innovative solutions. Composites, particularly bio-composites, emerge as promising alternatives to mitigate the ecological footprint of PVC while enhancing its characteristics. This study addresses this concern by presenting the development of a bio-composite comprising 90% PVC and 10% biological filler derived from bovine horn, renowned for its high keratin content. The primary objective was to create an innovative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable material. To rigorously assess the properties and thermal stability of this bio-composite, a comparative thermogravimetric analysis was conducted against virgin PVC. The results reveal the superior thermal stability of the biocomposite compared to virgin PVC, particularly beyond 280℃. This enhancement is attributed to the substantial presence of keratin in the biological filler, constituting nearly 90% of the horn biomass. Notably, the observed mass loss in the bio-composite is lower than that of virgin PVC at temperatures exceeding 280℃. This research underscores the potential of bio-composites, specifically those incorporating bovine horn-derived filler, as promising alternatives to mitigate the ecological footprint of PVC while concurrently improving its thermomechanical characteristics. The innovative material developed in this study holds promise for sustainable applications in various industries, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally conscious alternatives.

“…To create a bio-composite with optimal performance, the results of multiple experiments conducted by JAMMOUKH et al suggest that a dosage of 90% PVC and 10% bio-filler leads to improved characteristics [11,14,17,47,48]. Following this recommendation, we manufactured our bio-composite using rigid PVC.…”

“…Numerical simulation has become an important tool for virtually understanding the behavior of materials. The important thing is that it must be realistic given the complexity of the real environment (nonlinearities, multi physics ...).In order to study the anisotropy of the bio load used and to confirm the results of the experimental tests [2], the present simulation will be focused to the orientation at 0 ° of the direction of the fibers.…”

The use of bio-loads in the field of composites has become an essential concern for researchers, as opposed to mineral and classical loads that have dangerous effects on the environment. In this work, a tensile test on a virgin material of animal origin was carried out numerically by the finite element method which was able to confirm the experimental tests. The curves from this simulation mainly considered virgin material in a direction parallel to the fiber direction. The results of the numerical modeling have clearly illustrated that the virgin material has a significant Young modulus in the direction parallel to the fiber, which reinforces the assumptions of the anisotropy of the material of animal origin studied and the high rigidity at the direction of the fibers thanks to the keratin that confers this behavior. This bio load has been mixed with polypropylene for different percentages in order to promote the evolution of its thermo mechanical properties. Numerical modeling by the finite elements characterized the studied bio-composite which can find applications in the fields of the automotive, computers, construction and household articles etc.
