Waste Food Cans Waste Bamboo Wood Based AA8079/SS304/Bamboo Wood Ash Hybrid Nanocomposite for Food Packaging

Abstract

Nowadays life style practices demand more packed foods in the market around the world. In this trend increases the demand for researches on developing new packaging materials. In this research focuses novel AA8079/ SS304/ Wood ash hybrid nanocomposites development for meeting packaging related applications. The materials like aluminum alloy AA8079 (matrix material) obtained from waste food cans, Nanoparticles of stainless steel SS304 and Nanoparticles of Wood ash which obtained from waste bamboo woods were utilized to compose through stir casting process. Two set of Six different novel AA8079/ SS304/ Wood ash hybrid nanocomposites by varying the reinforcement from 0 wt.% to 10 wt.% with the step of 2 wt.% in the AA8079 matrix. The prepared composites included for examinations to test their Ultimate Tensile strength, yield strength, percentage of elongation, shear strength and hardness properties. Apart from this, the effect of heat treatment and annealing on strength of developed novel AA8079/ SS304/ Wood ash hybrid nanocomposites were investigated.
