Mechanical and thermal properties of chicken feather fiber/PLA green composites
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Chicken feather fiber (CFF)/reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were processed using a twin-screw extruder and an injection molder. The tensile moduli of CFF/PLA composites with different CFF content (2, 5, 8 and 10 wt%) were found to be higher than that of pure PLA, and a maximum value of 4.2 GPa ( 16 % ↑ ) was attained with 5 wt% of CFF without causing any substantial weight increment. The morphology, evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicated that an uniform dispersion of CFF in the PLA matrix existed. The mechanical and thermal properties of pure PLA and CFF/PLA composites were compared using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). DMA results revealed that the storage modulus of the composites increased with respect to the pure polymer, whereas the mechanical loss factor (tan δ ) decreased. The results of TGA experiments indicated that the addition of CFF enhanced the thermal stability of the composites as compared to pure PLA. The outcome obtained from this study is believed to assist the development of environmentally-friendly composites from biodegradable polymers, especially for converting agricultural waste – chicken feather into useful products.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
