Resumo IPEN-doc 27672 Ionizing radiation compatibilization in bio-based blends from PBAT/PLA reinforced with bio-eggshell2020 - CARDOSO, E.C.; PARRA, D.F.; SCAGLIUSI, S.R.; KOMATSU, L.G.; LUGAO, A.B.Plastics global annual production exceeds 300 million tons and 99% is originated from oil or fossil combustibles. The amount of plastics wastes utilized exceeds the amount into landfills, prejudicing effectively the environment. As an alternative, they are being slowly replaced by bioplastics, as PLA (poly-lactic acid) and PBAT (butylene adipate co-terephthalate). Food and dairy industries produce annually huge amounts of avian eggshells residues and their disposition presents a serious environmental risk. Bio-load from avian eggshells as polymers reinforcement is based in their higher benefits as resistance and rigidity besides being a friendly environmental material, degradable and renewable. PLA and PBAT are thermoplastics capable to be processed by conventional methods: nevertheless, due to their high interfacial tension, it is required the use of compatibilizers. In this work, additives and heat generally used as compatibilizers were replaced by e-beam radiation, at 150 kGy dose. PBAT/PLA blends were prepared at the weight ratio of 82 / 18 and 5.0 phr of PLA 150 kGy e-beam radiated, at 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 phr of bio-eggshells. Samples were homogeneized in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder and further characterized for: DSC, TGA, FTIR, XRD and Mechanical essays.Resumo IPEN-doc 27671 The degrading effects of the radiation on the properties of butyl rubber compounds2020 - SCAGLIUSI, S.R.; CARDOSO, E.C.; LUGAO, A.B.Polymeric materials (plastics and rubber) have been contributing in a continuously and raising way for the generation of litter and industrial wastes discarded in landfills. Gamma ionizing radiation has capacity for changing structure and properties of polymeric materials and can be applied to almost all types of polymers; irradiation is an expectation for problem-solving of rubber wastes management that can be utilized as raw-materials or chemical additives. butyl rubber has excellent mechanical properties and oxidation resistance, as well as low gas and water vapor permeability. At the initial stage of irradiation the degradation of butyl rubber occurs predominantly via random chain-scission This work aims to the introduction of a new recovery technique for butyl rubber, by using processing via gamma-rays followed by shear. 5 kGy, 15 kGy, 25 kGy, 50 kGy, 100 KGy, 150 kGy and 200 KGy doses were used, in order to study the feasibility of butyl rubber for recycling. Doses within 5 to 25 kGy applied to butyl rubber and pointed toward a less degraded material.
