“…Similarly, Bansal, et al studied the water absorption behavior of CFF reinforced with epoxy composites. The density of the composites is reduced, the void fraction, water absorption, and thickness swelling are marginally increased with the addition of the CFF 20 . In recent work, Reddy, et al showed that the keratin from chicken feather can be used as an effective sizing agent on polyester and polyester/cotton blends 21 .…”

In this work, fillers of waste chicken feather and abundantly available lignocellulose Ceiba Pentandra bark fibers were used as reinforcement with Biopoxy matrix to produce the sustainable composites. The aim of this work was to evaluate the mechanical, thermal, dimensional stability, and morphological performance of waste chicken feather fiber/Ceiba Pentandra bark fiber filler as potential reinforcement in carbon fabric-layered bioepoxy hybrid composites intended for engineering applications. These composites were prepared by a simple, low cost and user-friendly fabrication methods. The mechanical (tensile, flexural, impact, hardness), dimensional stability, thermal stability, and morphological properties of composites were characterized. The Ceiba Pentandra bark fiber filler-reinforced carbon fabric-layered bioepoxy hybrid composites display better mechanical performance compared to chicken feather fiber/Ceiba Pentandra bark fiber reinforced carbon fabrics layered bioepoxy hybrid composites. The Scanning electron micrographs indicated that the composites exhibited good adhesion at the interface of the reinforcement material and matrix system. The thermogravimetric studies revealed that the composites possess multiple degradation steps, however, they are stable up to 300 °C. The thermos-mechanical studies showed good dimensional stability of the composites. Both studied composites display better thermal and mechanical performance compared to neat bioepoxy or non-bioepoxy thermosets and are suitable for semi-structural applications.

“…Increasing the amount of chicken feather led to increasing of open porosity in composites as was proved with SEM images of composite samples. Bansal et al also showed that increasing w% of chicken feather caused water absorption to increase as the voids in epoxy composites were raised (Acda, 2010; Bansal et al, 2016). We can conclude that water absorption values show compliance with swelling thickness and open porosity values, except for the FFB3P series.…”

Sustainable utilisation of solid waste has been influenced by the increasing population of the world. Benefits of using solid waste based on natural fibre in polymer material are biodegradability and cost effectiveness. In poultry farms, chicken poultry, one of the slaughterhouse wastes is confronted with 30 106 kg of waste per year in Turkey. The evaluation of this waste, which is quite rich in keratin, is extremely important both for the solution of the waste problem and for maintaining a clean environment, bringing this valuable material to the economy. These fibres are stable, durable and biodegradable because they have a crystalline structure. However, this valuable waste will have a positive effect when used together with boron minerals, which both increase the mechanical properties, flame retardancy and biodegradation of composite material. In this study, it is the aim to manufacture superior polyester-based composite materials reinforced with three kinds of boron minerals, such as boron oxide, borax pentahydrate, borax decahydrate and fibres recycled from waste chicken feathers. The effect of different filling ratios of filling materials on the mechanical and physical properties of composite materials was examined. Flame retardancy properties of the composites with best mechanical results were investigated. After pouring by means of the pre-casting process, the water absorption and swelling thickness of final products, as well as density, bending strength, flexural modulus, limiting oxygen index, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope analysis, was performed. Mixing prescriptions and conditions with the best properties were determined.

“…Epoxy resin was selected as the matrix due to easy handling and curing at room temperature, toughness, strong adhesion, chemical resistance and other specialized properties and compatibility. Epoxy resin O belongs to the family of thermoset plastics which do not give off reaction products when cured and has low shrinkage (Bansal et al, 2016).…”

“…wing to the global environmental concerns (Odetoye et al, 2019), more recent research has been targeted towards green technology and development of eco-friendly materials such as biocomposites (Bansal et al, 2016;Adekomaya & Adama, 2018;Rahman et al, 2019). More so, disposal of agricultural waste into running water leads to the breeding of mosquitoes and environmental pollution, uncontrolled surface run off leading to gully erosion which made some places inhabitable (Ferronato & Torretta, 2019).…”

— The need to protect the environment has led to renewed research interest in sustainable bio-based materials such as natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Parinari polyandra (Benth) fruit shell (PPFS) is a woody biomass residue that is scarcely explored. This work reports the use of parinari as the fiber reinforcement in epoxy resin matrix biocomposites. The biocomposites were prepared from 2mm sized particles using hand layup method and by varying fibre contents from 0 to 40 wt %. The biocomposites affinities for water were determined by short and the long term water absorption tests according to ASTM standards. Water absorption capabilities of the biocomposites increased with increasing fibre contents while 10 wt% fibre content gave excellent moisture resistance property. The lowest water absorption of 0.01 and 0.2% for short term and long term tests respectively occurred in the 10 wt % filler content which compared very well with the control at short term test. PPFS is hereby suggested as a suitable natural filler material for bio-epoxy composite with desirable water absorption resistance properties.Keywords— Agricultural waste, Biocomposites, Parinari, Water absorption, West Africa
