Bio-Degradation Study of ABS Protein Filled Nano Composite

Abstract

In this work we report the particular preparing as well as properties of nano blend according to acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene terpolymer using improved nano silica, and also casein, in particular, most of us studied the effects of filler injections concentration on morphology, as well as hardware overall performance, paying attention our consideration on the consequence with the biodegradation phenomena with the casein modifiers. ABS/nano Si and casein blends are assumed to be biodegradable since both components are bio-degradable in a variety of microbial circumstances. The particular processing and mechanical properties involving casein and also ABS/nano Si blends have been well investigated and submitted to degradation by dirt interment tests in perforated boxes for 6 months and later analyzed. After destruction, blends along with casein displayed FTIR signals of minimal intensity in comparison to the original blends. These results exposed that ABS/nano Si’s biodegradability may be improved until casein is added to it. as to the actual mechanical properties, the effect of casein content on the strain at break of the nano composites, it is seen that the strain at break and impact strength of the nano composites get worse with the addition of casein where it decreases with increasing casein content while Young's modulus is higher than that of pure ABS.
