Abstract

In order to respond to the industrialists, environmental and sustainable development needs, researchers are currently studying a new category of materials called eco-composites based on natural biofillers. The goal is to use animal and vegetable fibers to load polymers. Several sectors integrate these eco-composites to manufacture their products by taking advantage of the important mechanical properties obtained by this bio-loading compared to the polymers in pure state and also to attract consumers to the bio-sourced products. In this research, the optimal properties of Nylon 66 bio filled by Argan Nut Shell (ANS) Particles with the Mori Tanaka and the finite element methods were studied. The mechanical properties of the eco composites studied are optimal at 20 Wt% of particles and by increasing their aspect ratios. The rigidity decreases slightly by moving away from 0°. The use of these types of natural bio fillers can replace the use of conventional fillers and move towards eco composites that respect the environment with low cost and density.
