EFFECT OF NANOCLAY (HALLOYSITE) ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED POLYPROPYLENE FILLED NAOH TREATED MAIZE COB POWDER COMPOSITES

Muhammad A.^*, Abdullahi, D, Musa M. B., Nuhu L., Hamza A.

This study investigates the influence of halloysite nanoclay (NC) on the mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene (rPP) composites reinforced with untreated maize cob powder (UMCP) and NaOH-treated maize cob powder (NaOH TMCP). Composites were fabricated with filler loadings of 10–40 wt% at particle sizes of 100–500 µm, and NC additions of 2...

EFFECT OF NANOCLAY (HALLOYSITE) ON THE DYNAMIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED POLYPROPYLENE FILLED NaOH TREATED MAIZE COB POWDER COMPOSITES

Muhammad A.^*, Abdullahi, D, Musa M. B., Nuhu L., Hamza A.

This study investigates the effects of nanoclay (halloysite) on the dynamic mechanical behaviour of recycled polypropylene (rPP) composites reinforced with maize cob powder (MCP). The influence of filler loading (10–40 wt%), particle size (100–500 µm), 2 % NaOH surface treatment, and nanoclay content (2–8 wt%) on storage modulus (E′), loss modulus ...

Study of Physio-Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin Reinforced Maize Cob and Glass Fibre Hybrid Composites

Mary L.^*, Abdullahi, D, Bukhari M. M., Nasruddeen A.

Natural and synthetic fibre hybrid composites are becoming more popular in engineering due to their ecofriendliness, lightweight nature, and low cost. This study focused on creating Maize Cob (MC)/Glass Fibre (GF) hybrid Epoxy Resin (ER) composites using hand-lay-up techniques with a 10% filler content. Various filler combinations (1%GF/9%MC, 7%GF/...

Ceric Induced Grafting of Acrylonitrile onto Kenaf Shive for Crude Oil Spillage Adsorbtion

salisu Z. M.^*, Ishiaku S. U., Abdullahi, D, Mohammed K. Yakubu, Diya’uddeen B.H

A global challenge that has cast the attention of most environmentalist of recent is the crude oil spillage, and the need for extensive study of improving and developing viable natural sorbents in recent years is increasing due to the enormous negative environmental impact of oil spill to the surroundings and the inhabitants. In this paper, crude o...
