In the first part of the project it was demonstrated that it is possible to use flours, obtained from both the cocoa pod shell (FCFC) and the cocoa nut shell (FCAC), as fillers to modify polyolefin thermoplastics. The results presented in the phase 1 scientific report showed that the incorporation of both cocoa flours in polyolefins, such as polypropylene (PP), high density polyethylene (…
The submitted research project aims to develop polymeric compounds based on recycled polyolefins filled with cocoa hull flour. Such a thermoplastic compound can be considered as an innovative technological propose, because it is a new idea to contribute to use cocoa shell discarted as residue from cocoa beans extration. That idea is based on polymeric compounds made from wood flour as fil…
