| Abstract Scope |
Cardanol is a subproduct of cashew nut production, extracted from the Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and cannot simply be discarded post nut production in the environment. This Cardanol is a multifunctional chemical substance, so this work proposed a blend directly with a common epoxy DGEBA to reduce the amount of this synthetic component by cardanol that is a green one, creating a bio-epoxy. Were performed some mechanical and thermal testing to characterize and understand the limits for this blended polymer. The results shows that is increased the young modulus but reduce the maximum mechanical properties, and the physical and thermal results show that the polymer chains from DGEBA had an incomplete interlocking, but the cardanol is bonded at main chain. For some applications is important this behavior, for example, in engineered composites. |
