Effect of bio-loading on polyvinyl chlorides morphology

Abstract

To integrate the consideration of environmental issues in the design phase of a product eco-design is an ecological quality improvement and preventive approach of it while verifying that the resulting environmental gain is not at the expense of other environmental aspects and focusing on the preservation of its quality of use of its features or certain stages of its life cycle without losing the own global vision of eco-design. Following this vision, the use of bio-laden animal based polymers derived from a mode of production by implementing optimization practices respectful of natural resources sustainably, has become changing way of thinking largely replace the use of non-renewable resources for human activities, the depletion of fossil resources deposits and to fight against the impact of climate change generated by this practice. Our paper attempts to analyze first the mechanical behavior of a bio-load and then incorporated into a polymer material to test improved mechanical and thermal characteristics made to it after adding and optimizing subsequently, its use. This is a load in the form of powder or chips extracted from an animal sheath. Tensile tests are performed in a first step, in order to mechanically characterize the virgin material and eco-composite obtained after the combination, i.e. the maximum tensile strength, the relative deformation and the modulus of the elasticity, etc
