A new green nucleating agent has been obtained from industrial waste and used in a polypropylene matrix. By chemically supporting pimelic acid on treated keratin fibers, a successful functionalization was achieved. The functionalized keratin fibers were found to promote the formation of a high percentage of beta crystals in the polypropylene matrix, resulting in improved thermomechanical properties.
A new green nucleating agent has been obtained from industrial waste. This way, pimelic acid (PA) was chemically supported on treated keratin fibers to promote the beta polymorph into a polypropylene matrix using several percentages of reinforcement (0.5, 1.0, and 5.0% w/w). IR spectra suggest a successful functionalization showing the presence of a new band at 1571 cm(-1), indicating a bond between PA and the keratin surface. According to the scanning electron spectroscopy, the nucleating agent was homogeneously distributed on the keratin surface. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves demonstrate that the functionalized keratin fibers were able to promote a high percentage of beta-crystal into the polypropylene matrix (79% and 60%, respectively). The thermomechanical properties were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). At -30 degrees C, the new reinforcement provides an important increase of 25% in the storage modulus compared with the raw polypropylene. The new reinforcement seems to strongly influence the mobility of the amorphous phase, shifting the Tg to higher temperatures.
