Upcycling Polymers and Natural Fibers Waste—Properties of a Potential Building Material
Composites of recycled high-density polyethylene and micro fibres of sugarcane bagasse were studied, in order to create an upcycled material to produce masonry bricks. We ranged the polymer/filler ratio from 100–0 to 60%–40%. The materials were assessed through scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, rheological measurements...
متن کاملBiocomposite from polylactic acid and lignocellulosic fibers: structure-property correlations.
PLA biocomposites were prepared using three corn cob fractions and a wood fiber as reference. The composites were characterized by tensile testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and polarization optical microscopy (POM). Micromechanical deformation processes were followed by acoustic emission measurements. The different strength of the components was proved by direct measurements. Two cons...
متن کاملPhysical Characterization of Natural Straw Fibers as Aggregates for Construction Materials Applications
The aim of this paper is to find out new alternative materials that respond to sustainable development criteria. For this purpose, an original utilization of straw for the design of lightweight aggregate concretes is proposed. Four types of straw were used: three wheat straws and a barley straw. In the present study, the morphology and the porosity of the different straw aggregates was studied ...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Reinforced Bombyx Mori Silk as a Biocomposite Material for Tissue Engineering Applications
Silk fibers are fibrous protein with unique combination of strength and toughness. Its biocompatibility makes it an ideal candidate for various biomedical applications. We hypothesized that composites consisting of silk and carbon nanotube (CNT) will have superior mechanical properties. This paper describes the production of protein based scaffolds having required mechanical properties and acti...
متن کاملXyloglucan modification using controlled polymer grafting for biocomposite applications
The increased environmental consciousness has raised a discussion about saving natural resources, which has led to an emerging interest in the development of sustainable materials with high performance. Polysaccharide biopolymers from renewable resources, for instance, are a great alternative to replace oil-based polymers since they have a lower cradle to grave energy use and greenhouse gas emi...
