Abstract

In recent times, effort has been made by researchers all over the world to develop composite materials that will be eco-friendly and affordable. Based on this, this study focused on the development of improved thermal and fire properties of the polymer (epoxy) using Cucumeropsis mannii shell granules (CMSg). Epoxy + 20wt% CMSg composite was produced by solution casting method. The thermogravimetric (TGA) and cone calorimetry were used to determine the relevant characteristics of the composite. The temperature of thermal maximum decomposition was shifted to a higher temperature for the composite. The epoxy released 6.63% heat during burring and 6.73% mass loss over that of the developed composite. About 58.93% delayed time was obtained for the composite before burning commenced. The results show that the tested material can be used for increasing the thermal and fire properties of epoxy matrix composites for engineering application.

曼氏黄瓜壳颗粒增强聚合物复合材料可燃性衰减和热特性提升电位的新评价

近年来，世界各地的研究人员都在努力开发既环保又负担得起的复合材料。在此基础上，本研究重点研究了利用曼氏黄瓜壳颗粒(CMSg)改善聚合物(环氧树脂)的热性能和防火性能。采用溶液浇铸法制备了环氧树脂+ 20wt% CMSg复合材料。采用热重法(TGA)和锥量热法测定了复合材料的相关特性。复合材料的热最大分解温度向更高的温度移动。与开发的复合材料相比，环氧树脂在毛刺过程中释放6.63%的热量，质量损失6.73%。燃烧前的延迟时间约为58.93%。结果表明，该材料可用于提高环氧基复合材料的热性能和防火性能，具有工程应用价值。
