Abstract
In present days bio-fibers have attracted many researchers in the field of polymer composites due to their outstanding properties that nature has conferred on them. In this study, epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was reacted with methacrylic acid and then by methacrylic anhydride, along with suitable catalyst to form methacrylic anhydride based epoxidized soybean oil (MAESO) resin. Chicken feather fibers were used as reinforcing agents in polymer composites due to their high specific strength and modulus. The ratio of fiber/resin was taken as 30:70. The synthesis of resin was confirmed by fourier transfer infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The interaction between the resin and chicken feather was studied by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and SEM studies. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of the composites with/without styrene were evaluated using thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) and universal testing machine (UTM). Flame retardancy, water vapour uptake, and chemical resistance properties of the composites with/without styrene, were also studied.
