Polymers Sustainability Engineering Environmental Engineering Environmental Management Polyamide 6 biomass soybean hulls pyrolysis polymer composites ball mill treatment mechanical properties Effective utilization of biomass waste as a filler material to thermoplastic polymers has been a subject of interest for the recent years. Creating sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly filler to tailor the properties of the composite requires further processing. Thermal conversion using pyrolysis process was utilized to convert the unstable biomass filler Soybean hulls (SBHs) to more stable material. In this research, the SBHs were pyrolyzed at 500 °C then incorporated in Polyamide-6 (PA-6) by various particle sizes and loading levels. The intent of this research is to examine the mechanical, thermal, water absorption and morphological properties of the composite materials and compare them with PA6, Poylamide-66 (PA-66) and PA6 Carbon Black (CB) composite. Ball milling process was utilized to reduce the size of Pyrolyzed SBHs (PSBHs). Two batches of PSBHs named as PSBH-A and PSBH-T were used. PSBH-A refers to the as received particle sizes without any treatment which are in the range of 90 to more than 710 µm. PSBH-T refers to the treated particles by performing ball milling process. The sizes of PSBH-T particles were reduced to an average of 5 µm. 10, 20 and 30% of PSBH-A and PSBH-T were mixed with PA6, extruded and injection molded to create rectangular and dog bone shape samples.For mechanical properties, the addition of PSBH-T increases the tensile strength and modulus of the final composite reaching higher values compared to PA6, PA66, PSBH-A/PA6 and CB/PA6. Elongation at break and notched Izod impact were decreased with the addition of PSBH-A and PSBH-T. For the thermal properties, the addition of PSBH-A and PSBH-T increase the Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) and decrease the Thermal Degradation Temperature (TDT) and heat of fusion. For water absorption, a slight increase was observed with the addition of PSBH-A and PSBH-T. 2021-07-28 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1626793395861062 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1626793395861062 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
