THE MELT FLOWABILITY AND TENSILE PERFORMANCE OF POLY (-CAPROLACTONE)/BREWERS’ SPENT GRAIN COMPOSITES AS A FUNCTION OF FILLER MODIFICATION
Abstract
Nowadays, it is essential to reduce the environmental impact of products and technologies. Such an approach should be highlighted in all research activities. In the case of polymer composites, it can be realized by introducing by-products or waste materials as fillers. An auspicious example of such material is the brewers’ spent grain, the major byproduct of the beer production. Its chemical composition, relatively similar to conventional lignocellulose fillers, enables its application to manufacturing wood-polymer composites. However, to enhance its compatibility with polymer matrices, it could be modified. Therefore, in the presented paper, the impact of the extrusion grinding of brewers’ spent grain on the processing and mechanical performance of polymer composites was evaluated.
