Abstract

Shellfish waste with non-metallic fractions from waste printed circuit boards (D-NMFs and W-NMFs) were used to reinforce polypropylene (PP). Thermal stability and mechanical properties were investigated, supplemented by finite element analysis, to investigate the reinforcement mechanism. Thermal property studies revealed a significant strengthening of the PP matrix upon NMFs incorporation. Final decomposition temperature increased from 391ºC for pure PP to 415ºC and 420ºC with 15 wt.% NMFs, and further reached ~ 435ºC and ~ 430ºC with clam and crab shell. Regarding mechanical properties, NMFs inclusion, especially W-NMFs, significantly elevated the composites’ stiffness. Tensile modulus, along with flexural strength and flexural modulus increased from 917.31 MPa, 33.02 MPa, and 509.24 MPa for pure PP to 1368.82 MPa, 54.95 MPa, and 1678.12 MPa, respectively, for composites with 15 wt.% W-NMFs. NMFs/PP composites filled with shells, especially clam shells, could further improve the filling effect. The tensile modulus, along with flexural strength, increased from 1379.04 MPa, 52.97 MPa, and 1103.49 MPa to 1579.05 MPa, 54.72 MPa, and 1918.96 MPa, respectively, for composites containing 10 wt.% W-NMFs and 15 wt.% clam shell.
