Abstract

Polymeric and plastic materials currently have numerous positive impacts due to their unique properties that make them important for various engineering applications. However, sustainability is a vital factor that should be considered, because of environmental issues. Eggshells (ES) are an important way to reduce the impact of nondegradable materials when applied to reinforce different types of polymer matrices, whether natural or synthetic polymers. Therefore, this study is an attempt to explore the potential application of waste eggshell fillers for the first time as a natural reinforcement in polyamide 12 (PA) composites. PA was loaded with three different ratios (3, 5, and 10 wt. %) of eggshell powder. Morphological studies of the PA powder, ES powder, and their composites were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were performed to study the thermal and chemical properties of the raw materials and the produced composites. The results indicate ES fillers’ potential usage as a reinforcement material to develop the thermal and chemical properties of the PA polymer matrix composites, thereby reducing costs and minimizing the environmental pollution caused by waste eggshells and petroleum-based polymers.

废蛋壳粉增强聚合物复合材料的制备及性能研究

聚合物和塑料材料由于其独特的性能而对各种工程应用具有重要意义，因此目前具有许多积极影响。然而，由于环境问题，可持续性是应该考虑的一个重要因素。蛋壳（ES）是减少不可降解材料影响的重要方法，用于加固不同类型的聚合物基体，无论是天然聚合物还是合成聚合物。因此，本研究首次尝试探索废弃蛋壳填料作为天然增强材料在聚酰胺12（PA）复合材料中的潜在应用。PA以三种不同的比率（3、5和10 wt.%）蛋壳粉。用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）对PA粉末、ES粉末及其复合材料进行了形态研究。此外，通过差示扫描量热法（DSC）和傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）研究了原料和制备的复合材料的热性能和化学性能。结果表明，ES填料作为增强材料的潜在用途是开发PA聚合物基复合材料的热性能和化学性能，从而降低成本并最大限度地减少废弃蛋壳和石油基聚合物对环境的污染。
