Abstract

The characterization of cardanol oil and cassava peel biochar toughened epoxy biocomposite coating has been investigated in this research. The aim of this study was to find the mechanical, wear, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and thermal conductivity behavior of epoxy-based coating material for structural application. The cardanol oil was prepared from the remains of the cashew fruit nut shell, whereas the biochar was prepared from the cassava tuber peels. The composite coating material was prepared using epoxy, cardanol oil, and biochar via a blend mixing method and tested according to ASTM standards. The mechanical testing shows that the 20 vol. % of cardanol oil decreased the strength of the biocomposite, whereas the biochar added RCC6 composite gave improved tensile strength, flexural strength, and hardness for as 93 MPa, 125 MPa, and 93 shore-D. It is observed that the larger addition of cardanol oil decreased the wear resistances too, whereas the addition of cassava peel biochar increased the wear resistances by lowering the coefficient of friction (COF) to 0.51 and sp. wear rate to 0.08 mm3/Nm. The values DMA, TGA, and thermal conductivity were enhanced with incremental in cardanol oil and cassava peel biochar. The best results were found with 20 vol. % of cardanol and 5 vol. % of cassava peel biochar by accounting for all parameters. Such biocomposite coatings with improved properties could be used in electrical appliances, industrial, automotive, aircraft, cold storage units, and defense applications.
