Many pulp mills and biorefineries today are focusing on the utilization of their residual lignin for economic return. Although can be burned to produce energy, it also has potential production value-added products. Technical lignins have modified structure contain different impurities, which depend original material, as well extraction process. Among various techniques extraction, kraft steam explosion processes most commonly used in pulping biorefinery industries, respectively. The...
Abstract Cellulose nanofibres are environmentally benign and have unique features compared to macro scales. Nowadays, many efforts been made in developing potential composite products with improved properties. However, the manufacturing of nanocomposites natural fibres has a challenging task due difficulty encountered order aggregate nanofibres. In this paper, curaua were utilized for isolation Polyvinylalcohol (PVA) was chosen as matrix its excellent film forming, packaging capacity...
Basalt fibre is a promising mineral that has high potential to replace synthetic based glass in today’s stringent environmental concern. In this study, friction and wear characteristics of basalt fibres reinforced epoxy composites were studied comparatively evaluated at two test stages. The first stage was conducted fixed load, speed distance under three different conditions; adhesive, abrasive erosive wear, wherein each composite specimens slide against steel, silicon carbide, sand...
The effect of the filler content and size, as well accelerated aging on mechanical properties polypropylene composites reinforced with woodflour (WF/PP) were evaluated. prepared by extrusion (Pinus elliotti) based following ratios: 15, 25 40 wt% two different granulometries. specimens injection molded according to ASTM standards. composite did not show significant differences a function granulometry. We also observed that increasing content, both melt flow index (MFI) decreased, elasticity...
The growing environmental concerns and depletion of fossil fuels resulted in an increased interest environmentally friendly materials based on natural polymers. Efforts are being made to introduce the lignin plastic composites such as polypropylene, with aim producing bio-based desirable mechanical characteristics. In this study, blends powder polypropylene were extruded testing samples produced by injection molding process. tested for physical, thermal properties. results showed that...
Sustainability, eco‐efficiency, pollution prevention, industrial ecology, and green chemistry are considering platform‐based approaches to the development of next generation products processes. Recently, renewable alternatives traditional petroleum‐derived plastics have motivated recent interest in bio‐based composite materials which can contribute reduction environmental footprint. Lignin is a complex amorphous biopolymer with high density functional groups modulus, makes it potentially...
