“…It can be seen, at 10 php of filler content, that the composites without COCA exhibit the highest tensile strength. A similar observation has been reported in our previous study . Figure also shows that the addition of PKS from 10 to 40 php of filler content had higher tensile strength compared with neat LDPE.…”

Palm kernel shell (PKS), a waste from the oil palm industry, has been utilized as filler in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) eco-composites in the present work. The effect of PKS content and coconut oil coupling agent (COCA) on tensile properties, water absorption, and morphological and thermal properties of LDPE/PKS eco-composites was investigated. The results show the increase of PKS content decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break, but increased the tensile modulus, crystallinity, and water absorption of ecocomposites. The presence of COCA as coupling agent improved the filler-matrix adhesion yield to increase the tensile strength, tensile modulus, crystallinity, and reduced water absorption of eco-composites. The better interfacial adhesion between PKS and LDPE with the addition of COCA was also evidenced by scanning electron microscopy studies. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL.,

“…Most researchers are more interested in the utilization of agricultural wastes such as corn cob , palm kennel shell (Salmah et al 2013), coconut shell (Chun et al 2012;Salmah et al 2012b), and chitosan (Salmah and Azieyanti 2011; to produce biocomposites that reduce cost as well as enhance the properties and biodegradability of biocomposites. Corn (Zea mays) is a biomass resource that is cultivated around the world.…”

Chitosan/Corn Cob Biocomposite Films by Cross-linking with Glutaraldehyde

Corn cob (CC) was used as a filler in chitosan (CS) biopolymer films. The effect of glutaraldehyde (GLA) as a crosslinking agent was studied in an effort to improve the properties of CS/CC biocomposite films prepared via solvent casting. The tensile strength and elongation at break values decreased, but the modulus of elasticity increased with CC content. However, the tensile properties of CS/CC biocomposite films improved when modified with GLA. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results indicated the presence of imine bonds (C=N) and ethylenic groups due to the cross-linking reaction between CS and GLA. The thermal stability of CS/CC biocomposite films reduced with increasing CC content. The modification of CS/CC with GLA enhanced the thermal stability of the biocomposite films. Moreover, the wettability and adhesion of the CC-CS system were enhanced by modification with GLA, as demonstrated by a morphological study. The crosslinking agent glutaraldehyde positively affected the tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and thermal stability of the biocomposite films.

“…The SEM of the control and samples containing MTT composites showed some detachment of the ASF filler from the matrix. This indicated insufficient bonding between the PP and the ASF filler, resulting in less cellular adhesion (Salmah et al 2013b;García et al 2014).…”

The main objective of this research was to study the potential uses of almond shell flour (ASF) in the production of thermoplastic composites containing montmorillonite (MMT). Thirty, 35, and 40 wt% ASF was used, and 2.0 wt% maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene was used as the compatibilizer. Two levels of MMT nanoclay, 2.5 and 5.0 wt%, were mixed with polypropylene (PP). The effects of MMT on the thermal properties of the blended composites were evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), morphological characterization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD data showed that the relative intercalation of the composites with 2.5 wt% MMT was higher than that of the 5.0 wt% nanoclay composites. The TGA results indicated that by increasing the MMT percentage, the degradation temperature and the thermal stability were enhanced. The MMT exhibited better dispersion in the clay layers of the polymer-matrix composites when increased from 2.5 to 5.0 wt%, and at the 5.0 wt% MMT loading, the size of MMT became larger. The total weight loss of the ASF/PP/MMT composite decreased as the filler content increased, and the thermal stability increased as the MMT content increased.
