“…Fillers either naturally occur in a form of fine particles or are subjected to grinding. In the literature of the subject one can find numerous examples of natural fillers, including rice bran [16], banana powder [14], argan nut shell [5], vanilla [9], wood powder [4], switch grass [11], and many more.…”

The study reports the results of investigation of basic processing and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene modified with two types of natural filler: wheat bran and pumpkin seed hulls, their content ranging from 5% to 15% relative to the matrix. In addition, physical properties of the produced granulates are determined, i.e. the relationship between their density and the applied contents of the tested fillers. Furthermore, the study reports the results concerning longitudinal shrinkage, abrasion resistance and cold water absorption of injection molded tensile specimens.

“…Rice husk powder was also examined in other studies (Hardinnawirda and SitiRabiatull Aisha 2012;Ramasamy et al 2013), where the authors found that the rice husk powder acted as a reinforcing filler. Another example of the application of natural fillers is the study conducted by Nuraya et al (2015), in which a research team compared rubber compounds containing banana powder and calcium carbonate as the filler. It was concluded that despite a poorer tensile strength, the mixture containing banana powder exhibited a greater tear strength.…”

The promotion of sustainable economic development and issues related to ecological and environmental protection has led to a common interest in the use of raw materials from renewable sources. Recently, there have been many scientific works on the use of different natural wastes as components in the production of new composite materials and polymers. An example of natural waste that is not managed efficiently is grain husk, which is a by-product of the production of flour and other products. This work studied the use of wheat grain husk for plastic processing. A short review is presented of studies concerning the use of natural waste and materials as fillers for natural and synthetic polymers, as well as their potential applications. The authors conducted original research on the influence of the mass fraction and particle size of wheat bran on the selected properties of low-density polyethylene, which can be useful in the evaluation of the suitability of this raw material for particular technical applications.

“…The adhesion on the polymer-filler interface is significant and often has a decisive impact on properties of polymer blends. Polymer adhesion depends on the conditions of polymer absorption on filler surface, filler grain wettability by polymer melt, and bonds created between filler and polymer [24]. Table 5 illustrates the relationship between strain at maximum tensile stress and the applied contents of the filler in the form of powder made of ground pumpkin seed hulls.…”

In recent decades, standard polymer blends for different applications have been more and more often replaced by blends containing raw materials. The use of natural materials as filler in thermoplastics brings both economic and environmental benefits. The use of a given vegetable filler depends on the geographic location and natural occurrence of the vegetables in a given geographic region. In Poland, for instance, the pumpkin is one of such vegetables. They are used for producing oil which is pressed from pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are then collected, dried and purified to produce waste material in hull form. Particles of ground pumpkin seed hulls with varying sizes and weight-in-weight concentration ranging from 0% to 20% relative to the matrix are used as filler in low-density polyethylene. Pumpkin seed hulls are ground and sieved. Four fractions of hulls with different particle sizes are produced: <0.2 mm, 0.2-0.4 mm, 0.4-0.6 mm, 0.6-0.8 mm. The paper reports the results of investigation of the mechanical properties, i.e., strength properties determined by static tensile testing and hardness measurement, of injection molds produced at constant processing parameters. In addition, the cross sections of the obtained products are subjected to microscopic examination. Relationships are determined between tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress, tensile stress at yield, maximum tensile strain, tensile strain at yield as well as Shore hardness and weigh-in-weight concentration of the powdered natural filler and its grain sizes. Finally, relevant conclusions are drawn.
