Effect of nanoclay on the properties of rosin derivative cross‐linked green composite based on chicken feather fiber and modified vegetable oil

Fully biodegradable composites based on waste chicken feather fiber (CF), functionalized epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), rosin derivative and various nanoclay percentages were prepared via compression molding. Rosin derivative was synthesized as a substitute of styrene/divinylbenzene. Nuclear magnetic...

Description
Summary:Fully biodegradable composites based on waste chicken feather fiber (CF), functionalized epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), rosin derivative and various nanoclay percentages were prepared via compression molding. Rosin derivative was synthesized as a substitute of styrene/divinylbenzene. Nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the synthesized rosin derivatives structures. Delamination and distribution of silicate layers were studied by X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyse compatibility among modified ESO and rosin. FTIR study revealed the interaction between resin, CF, rosin derivative, and nanoclay. The nanoclay loaded composites showed better mechanical properties than the nanoclay free composite. The thermal stability of nanoclay loaded composites were also found to be enhanced. Composites loaded with nanoclay (3 wt%) revealed the least chemical resistance, volumetric swelling and water vapor uptake capacity.
