A comparative study of biocarbon reinforced polyoxymethylene and polyamide: Materials performance and durability

Polyoxymethylene (POM)- and polyamide 6 (PA6)-based biocomposites were investigated in order to evaluate the reinforcing efficiency of a biocarbon filler (BioC). Both types of composites were prepared by melt-blending extrusion with 10, 20, and 30 wt% of BioC. Samples were prepared by the injection molding method and subjected to a detailed analysis consisting of mechanical and thermo-mechanical tests, thermal analysis, and microscopic...
