FABRICATION OF EPOXY BASE PARTICULATE COMPOSITES FILLED WITH AFRICAN MESQUITE PODS FOR CEILING BOARD APPLICATION

Aliyu Jibril*, Ishiaku S. U., Musa M. B., Abdulraheem Giwa, Yusuf L O

The extensive deforestation of African mesquite trees and the significant waste produced due to their perceived economic value have spurred research into using their solid waste in construction applications. This study investigates the utilization of African mesquite waste pods as a filler in epoxy composites. Composites were prepared using hand mi...

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 ...

Determination of the Physico-Chemical Properties of Alkyd Resin Produced from Natural Shea Butter Oil

Abdulkadir Suleiman Abdulrahman*, Mohammed K. Yakubu, Musa M. B.

Alkyd resin was prepared from shear butter oil (SBO) using the two step procedures; alcoholysis and polyesterification. The oil and alkyd resin were characterized and evaluated by standard methods, for their physico-chemical properties. The analysis showed that the alkyd resin based on Shea butter oil recorded average acid value of 15.2 (mgNaOH/g),...
