This study outlines a method for the epoxidation of poly-beta-myrcene, a biopolymer that can be easily extracted from the natural resin of the Chios Mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus L.). The resulting epoxidation products are self-curing, and have a nearly 100% green carbon content. These Mastic Epoxide products (MASTEP) have the potential to be useful thermosetting resins. One specific product (MASTEP A), was used as an adhesive to create Single Lap Joints, which were then subjected to tensile shear stress tests. MASTEP A was found to be 25%-83% stronger than three commonly used conventional or "semigreen" epoxy adhesives. Another specific product (MASTEP B), was found able to be thermally converted into a semi-crystalline form. In order to clarify the 3D chemical structure of MASTEP, IR, and DSC investigations were conducted. The entire production process was designed to be environmentally friendly. The results of this research represent a significant advancement in the development of environmentally friendly epoxies and pave the way to a wide range of potential further research.

Development of eco‐friendly bio‐composite by reinforcing pineapple fruit waste crown fiber to ethylene‐propylene rubber modified polyethylene

et al. 2022

Current study discovers society's pineapple waste management issue a new approach. The pineapple crown fiber (PACF) has been used as reinforcement into a maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted ethylene‐propylene rubber (EPR) modified low‐density polyethylene (LDPE). The PACF reinforced composites with 10 wt% EPR content showed much better mechanical properties than the tensile and flexural properties demonstrated by the composites consisting of only PACF and LDPE only. The highest tensile strength (~29 MPa) and modulus of elasticity (~851 MPa) were obtained for the composite consisting of 30 wt% of PACF in the base matrix. Similarly, the highest flexural strength (~27 MPa) and modulus (~1814 MPa) were recorded for the same composition. Attenuated total reflection‐infrared spectroscopy confirmed a new bond between PACF and base matrix, establishing good compatibility between PACF and base matrix. The morphological analysis gives an insight of the microstructure and fracture behavior of the composites, which confirms an excellent wetting of the fibers by the base matrix. Thermogravimetry of the composites showed the increment in the PACF content decreased the thermal degradation temperature of the composites. DMA and differential scanning calorimetry demonstrated an increment into the storage modulus and crystallization temperature of all the composites compared to pristine LDPE.
