Evaluation of cotton gin waste as a lignocellulosic substitute in woodfiber plastic composites.
|
Abstract
Rising raw material costs and shortage of woody materials necessitate alternative sources for lignocellulosic material in woodfiber plastic composites (WPC). This study was conducted to evaluate cotton gin waste (CGW), an agricultural residue as a cellulosic substitute in WPC. Samples were fabricated with approximately 4 percent of zinc stearate, 48 percent of high-density polyethylene obtained from recycled plastics and 48 percent of lignocellulosic material by mass. The composition of the cellulosic material was changed from 0 to 100 percent CGW at 20 percent ...
