Sunflower seed cake as reinforcing filler in thermoplastic composites

Abstract: Dimensional stability, mechanical properties, and melting and crystallization behavior of polypropylene composites filled with sunflower seed cake (SSC) were investigated. Injection molded composites were prepared from the SSC flour and polypropylene with and without maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene (MAPP) at 30, 40, 50, and 60 wt % contents of the SSC flour. Twenty‐eight days thickness swelling and water absorption values of the specimens increased by 43 and 56% as the filler content increased from 30 t… Show more

“…The PP chain from MAPP covalently bond on the CPH particles provided a better wettability and enhanced the filler-matrix interaction. This statement was agreed by many other researchers 10,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The elongation at break of PP/CPH biocomposites with and without MAPP is shown in Figure 3(b). The result indicated the elongation at break of PP matrix was abruptly reduced by the addition of CPH.…”

“…Because of its low density, versatility, easy processing, good performance-to-cost ratio, and good mechanical properties, polypropylene (PP) has been widely used in many fields, including automobiles, building materials, electronics, and electric materials. [1][2][3] However, because of a large number of methyl groups, PP is easily ignited with a fast fire spread speed, and it can produce large amounts of toxic gases during combustion; these gases threaten the safety of human life and restrict PP's use in high-risk applications. [4][5][6] Thus, it is necessary to improve the fire safety of PP, and various attempts have been made to reduce its flammability through the introduction of various flame retardants (FRs) into PP.…”

“…7,8 With the improvement of fire safety and environmental protection requirements, halogen-free FRs for PP have attracted more and more attention. Metal hydroxides, such as Al(OH) 3 and Mg(OH) 2 , can be used as FRs for PP, but their high loading can damage the mechanical performance of PP. 9,10 IFRs, which have a lower toxicity and are nonhalogens, are a hotspot in the study of the flame retardancy of PP and are considered environmentally friendly FRs.…”

“…As for the neat PP composite, similar results were found in previous studies. 10,11 For example, Ayrilmis et al 10 reported that 28 days TS and WA values of the neat PP composite were 0.24% and 0.18%. From the results, the neat PP composite showed the lowest WA value, followed by the composites with dolomite filler and wood filler, respectively.…”
