Thermal Characterization of Crab Shell Chitin Whisker Reinforced Phenol Formaldehyde Nanocomposites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The investigation on the thermal stability of macro and nano molecular network has emerged, over the years, as a powerful tool for their characterization [1, 2, and3]. The structure of the main chain, the main chain bonds and the nature of the crosslink’s and the presence of any extra-network materials all affect the thermal stability of polymer composites. Thermo Gravimetric analysis (TGA) together with other experiments such as DSC can help in understanding the degradation mechanism and assist any effort to enhance the thermal stability of polymeric materials

Synthesis of Chitin Nano Particles for Preparation of Nano PF Composites
Preparation of Phenolic nanocomposites with the help of solvent casting technique was carried out by dispersing the chitin nano particles in water soluble phenol formaldehyde (PF). The nanocomposites were prepared by using water suspended chitin whisker as the reinforced phase and water soluble phenol formaldehyde (PF) as matrix. In the present work, crab shell originated chitin whisker was pro...
متن کاملQuantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Chitin and Chitosan from the Shell of the Mud Crab, Scylla Serrata (forskal, 1775)
Chitin and Chitosan are polysaccharides found abundantly in nature. The presence of these polysaccharides is found largely in marine ecosystem next only to the plant source is noteworthy. Especially the production and consumption of crustaceans like crabs and prawns have increased in the recent years, thereby generating a large amount of solid shell waste. In the present study the crab, Scylla ...
متن کاملAdsorption of Zn (II) from aqueous solution by using chitin extraction from crustaceous shell
Removal of toxic heavy metals from wastewater is an important environmental challenge. In this Study, Zn (II) removal from aqueous solution by chitin extraction from crustaceous shells (shrimp and crab) was investigated. The biosorption studies were determined as a function of contact time, pH, initial metal concentration, and the amount of adsorbent. Adsorption of Zn (II) increased with decrea...
متن کاملProcessing and analysis of chitosan nanocomposites reinforced with chitin whiskers and tannic acid as a crosslinker.
Chitosan film reinforced with nano-sized chitin whiskers and crosslinked using tannic acid was synthesized by the casting-vaporation method. The mechanical and physicochemical properties of several film samples (consisting of different ratio of chitin and tannic acid) were compared with neat chitosan. Tensile tests show that the addition of chitin improves the nanocomposite films mechanical pro...
متن کاملThermal Curing Behavior and Tensile Properties of Resole Phenol-Formaldehyde Resin/Clay/Cellulose Nanocomposite*
This study investigated the effects of layered clay on the thermal curing behavior and tensile properties of resole phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin/clay/cellulose nanocomposites. The thermal curing behavior of the nanocomposite was characterized using conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature modulated (TMDSC). The addition of clay was found to accelerate resin curing,...
