“…[ 7,8 ] Researchers discovered that mechanical properties would be lost due to the excessive particles loading, particularly tensile and flexural strength. [ 9 ] Budiyantoro et al [ 10 ] explored the influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) filler fraction on tensile properties of PP composites, and found that the strength and modulus decreased obviously when the filling percentage of CaCO 3 was higher than 25 wt%. Hargitai et al [ 11 ] found that the tensile strength of PP/Talc composites dropped as the filling amount increased at any addition amount.…”

Constructing polyolefin composites with both light‐weight and high‐strength is of significant importance in practical applications. Here, light‐weight and high‐strength PP/CaCO3 composites are tactfully achieved via die drawing with a self‐designed experimental apparatus. The effects of drawing ratios on crystalline structure, thermal behavior, morphology, and mechanical behavior of the drawn composites are investigated. Detailed experimental characterizations demonstrate that die drawing can considerably enhance the mechanical characteristics of PP/CaCO3 composites through regulating the crystallinity and orientation of the molecular chains. Besides, voids are generated and elongated through die drawing, leading to the decrease of density. The tensile strength, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the prepared samples can reach up to 142.5 MPa, 81.3 MPa, and 8.2 GPa, respectively, and the density is 0.91 g/cm3. The present work provides an effective and universal strategy for preparing light‐weight and high‐strength polyolefin composites.

“…Extensive literature demonstrated that composite strength is strongly dependent on the interfacial adhesion between filler and matrix [55][56][57][58][59]. The influence of EAF slag as filler for PP was found to be similar to that of other fillers, such as talc [56,60], and calcium carbonate [61]. In the other matrixes, the minor adhesion makes the slag particles possible failure points (especially in ELT composite as shown in SEM observations discussed in Section 3.4.…”

Innovative Reuse of Electric Arc Furnace Slag as Filler for Different Polymer Matrixes

The European steel industry produces about 70 million tons/year of steel by the electric arc furnace (EAF). The slag consists of about 15% by weight of the produced steel, thus from the perspective of the circular economy, it has a high potential as a co-product. This research aims to assess an innovative reuse of EAF slag as filler in different polymer matrixes: thermoplastic (polypropylene), thermosetting (epoxy resin), elastomeric (nitrile butadiene rubber), and recycled end of life rubber tire. A comparison between neat polymer and polymer filled with a certain amount of EAF slag has been carried out by tensile (or flexural), compression, and hardness tests. Experimental results show that slag as a filler increases the composites’ hardness and elastic modulus at the expense of toughness. For a safe reuse of the slag, the leaching of hazardous elements must comply with current legislation. It was found that, although the used EAF slag releases small amounts of Cr, Mo, and V, incorporating it into a polymer matrix reduces the leaching. The EAF slag particles distribution has been observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The obtained results show good technical feasibility of this innovative slag application so that it could pave the way to a new industrial symbiosis between dissimilar sectors, bringing economic and environmental benefits.

“…The increase of tensile strength is equal to 18%. This caused by filler nanometer CaCO3 which has big equi-amplitude surface district so that it will give more contact between filler and matrix resulting mechanical properties of polymers composite to increase [12].…”

Influence of Nanopaticle CaCO3 Addition to the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene-CaCO3 Composite. This research was carried out to study the effect of adding CaCO3 nanoparticle on the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene-CaCO3 composites. It was characterized by several parameters such as tensile strength, hardness, and thermal analysis including both melting point and heat of fusion using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Based on XRD results, the particle size of CaCO3 after 24 hours of milling was 39 nm. There are various compositions of polypropylene-CaCO3 composites (PP MF35: nano-CaCO3) made in this study, namely 40%:60%, 35%:65%, 30%:70%, and 25%:75%. The results showed that the tensile strength of the PP MF35-CaCO3 composites decreased with increasing nano-CaCO3 content. Meanwhile, the hardness of the nanocomposites increased with increasing nano-CaCO3 content, but decreased the melting point and heat of fusions (ΔHm) of the nanocomposites. The infrared spectrum showed that the interaction between PP MF35 and nano-CaCO3 was only physical interaction and there was no chemical reaction.
