In this research, erosion wear rate and hardness shore D for polymer biocomposite materials were investigated. The present bio-composites made up of differing weight percentage of pistachio shell powder (0%, 5%, 7%, and 9%) with epoxy resin was prepared by hand layout method. The erosion wear rates for bio composites obtained with under constant factors (10 hours, 60º impingement angles, sand silica particles 850μm, standoff distance 23 cm, flow rate 45 L/min, room temperature, nozzle diameter 4mm and pump diameter 50 mm). Results show that the specimen (epoxy + 9% pistachio shell powder) has the best erosion wear rate resistance and hardness shore D compared with other specimens, also the specimen reinforced by 9% pistachio shell have the lower density and highest water absorption percentage and it is found that the improving percentage for the this specimen in hardness is (11.5%) and in erosion wear rate is (775%). The study reveals that the addition of pistachio shell powder to the epoxy reduces its erosion wear rate and semi ductile behavior.

Although, the PMMA have good advantages made it appropriate to denture base applications. But its low impact and fracture strength represent the main drawbacks of it.so many studies had been done in order to overcome these problems. In this study Pistachio Shell powder was added in different weight fractions of about (3, 6, 9 and 12 wt. %) and different average particle sizes of about (53µm, 106µm, 150µm and212µm) to (heat-cure) PMMA that is popularly utilize in denture base applications and study the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) behavior of this bio composite. The results were as the following: the FTIR results demonstrated that there are no new peaks appeared after the reinforcing by Pistachio Shell powder. Also there was no shifting in any of these peaks. While the DSC test showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) increased as the particle size of Pistachio Shell powder increased. The highest value of Tg (126.9?) was obtained for composite specimen reinforced with 12% of Pistachio Shell powder with average particle size of about (212µm).

The environmental concerns and quest for a sustainable future have encouraged the utilisation of bio-waste in a productive manner. In the present investigation, characterization studies such EDS, XRD and FTIR of pistacia vera (pistachio) nut shell particulates were carried out to have a knowledge of the morphological properties. Further, an attempt was made to utilise the bio-waste i.e. pistacia vera nut shell as a reinforcing phase in epoxy based polymer composites to assess the tribological behaviour of the fabricated composites. The pistachio shell particulate was incorporated with epoxy resin in different weight fractions (0, 10, 20 and 30%) to develop a new class of composite. The effect of filler content, normal load, sliding velocity and sliding distance on the two body abrasive wear behaviour of pistachio shell particulate reinforced epoxy composites was studied. The obtained results showed significant enhancement of abrasion resistance of the fabricated composites as compared to neat epoxy. Further, it was found that the composites with 20 weight percent of filler provide optimum abrasion resistance to the developed composite. The worn out surfaces of the composites were analysed using Scanning Electron Microscope to determine various failure mechanisms leading to deformation of the composite surface.

Abstract The saturation point of Mimusop elengi seed shell powder (MESSP) and the effect of MESSP addition on the mechanical, thermal, water absorption and morphological properties of polypropylene (PP) composites were studied. Tensile fracture, physio-mechanical properties and thermal behavior of composites were characterized using tensile and impact testing, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron micrograph, and differential scanning calorimetry. Processability of composites were feasible up to 20 wt. % MESSP by which agglomeration of MESSP and poor dispersion of MESSP in PP was observed above 20 wt% MESSP loading. Increasing MESSP loading showed tremendous improvement in tensile modulus and impact strength, whereas tensile strength and elongation at break were reduced. Water absorption and thermal decomposition of composites remain comparable with addition of MESSP up to 20 wt. %. Reduction of tensile strength was attributed by weak adhesion between MESSP and PP. However, morphological analysis revealed the presence of physical interaction via PP chain interlocking on MESSP surface.
