Abstract

Polyolefins can benefit from multifunctional fillers developed from agricultural by-products. Through proper mechanical processing of these agricultural by-products, which are sometimes referred to as waste-streams, filled blends have been shown to yield improvements in stiffness, thermal stability, and mold tolerance, as well as in the reduction of petroleum-based polymer usages. Furthermore, with the use of chemical compatibilizers significant improvements in strength have also been achieved versus untreated filler. Overall, the development of agricultural by-product filled polyolefins has lead to a new class of biocomposites which can serve as a strong competitor to both virgin polymer as well as traditionally filled systems.
