Preparation of Silane-Treated Eggshells Polyvinyl Chloride Films by Co-Precipitation: Effect of Vinyltrimethoxysilane Surface Treatment on the Tensile Properties

“…Further, increasing the filler content further decreased the elongation at break, reaching 77.9% and 88.0% for the films with untreated and treated ES at a ratio of 1:2 PVC:ES, respectively. Similar reductions in elongation at break have been reported by other authors [20,24,25]. The use of waste eggshell particles, as well as treated ones, was found to improve the modulus of the resulting PVC films.…”

“…There are data on the use of silane coupling agent-treated ES for epoxy resin composites [22], polypropylene [23], high-density polyethylene [24,25], unsaturated polyester [26,27], and recycled high-density polyethylene/ethylene vinyl acetate composites [20]. A number of authors confirm that the surface modification of ES powders can successfully be used to improve the interfacial adhesion and tensile properties of the composites.…”

Effect of Vinyltrimethoxysilane Surface Treatment and Immersion in Water on the Tensile Behaviors of Eggshells Polyvinyl Chloride Films Prepared by Solution Casting

“…As a result, the elasticity of the films decreases, the stiffness increases (see Table ), and therefore the elongation at break decreases. 7,27,34 Here, as was the case for tensile strength, the PVC matrix showed higher values of elongation at break after 25 days of immersion time in water, from 264.8 (before immersion) to 321.5%. When using large amounts of untreated and treated eggshells (1:2), the measured elongation of the films after 25 days further decreased.…”

Toward the production of biopolyethylene‐based ecocomposites with improved performance: The potential of eggshell particles as an ecological additive

“…In this context, eggshell (ES) residue is a valuable raw material, natural, and abundant in postconsumer material, generating perspectives as a material for the production of ecological composites. 34,35 Some reports in the literature [36][37][38] on the production of highdensity polyethylene composites with ES suggest technological potential to improve mechanical and thermal properties. Recently, Bello et al 39 produced composites of recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPEr) with EG nanoparticles using a ball mill for mixing and compression molding.…”
