Digging in the dirt: Using natural fibers from industrial waste in flame retarded thermoplastic starch biocomposites
- To exploit application fields beyond packaging for biodegradable materials, flame retardancy and increased mechanical strength are usually required. This work focuses on the flammability of a thermoplastic starch/polyester blend reinforced with natural fibers derived from Mexican industry processes wastes, such as keratin fibers from the tannery industry, coconut fibers (coconut industry), and agave tequilana fibers and henequen fibers from tequila industry. Different fiber contents as well as combinations of varying contents of aluminum trihydroxide, expandable graphite, aluminum diethylphosphinate or ammonium polyphosphate are investigated. It is the goal to propose sustainable waste fibers as adjuvants improving the flame retardancy. This work provides the proof of principle for sustainable biodegradable flame retarded biocomposites.
