Influence of Hot Compression Moulding of Biopolymer Filled Waste Granulate Biopolymer

Abstract:

Bio-monomer based on original cooking oil was mixed with the hardeners with different percentages of Waste granulate Biopolymer (WB) fillers which is 30, 40, and 50 % equivalent to weight of monomer to produce Biopolymer filled Waste granulate Biopolymer (BWB) by using hot compress moulding. The tensile strength of BWB is 0.33, 0.45 and 0.43 MPa, meanwhile value of Youngs Modulus is 11.00, 8.18 and 5.06 MPa for loading 30, 40 and 50 % respectively. From the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrograph, BWB has two characteristic and classified as a brittle and ductile fracture of granular (shiny) texture or cleavage character with little yielding before the sample breaks. Furthermore brittle fracture is characteristic by rapid crack propagation and then ductile fracture with stress whitening zone, appears fibrous appearance is dull and it have very rough surface. This fracture has glassy smooth surface, flat, bright, shiny and minimum deformation.
