IDI. Dominguez-CandelaIBI. Boronat-CastellarMMM. Miranda-Pinzon

Key Points

  • To explore the use of chia seed flour in creating thermoplastic biocomposites through direct processing and plasticizers.
  • Direct thermoplastic processing of chia seed flour by-products
  • Experimentation with various combinations of plasticizers
  • Assessment of mechanical performance and water uptake stability.
  • Water/glycerol plasticizer combination improved mechanical performance
  • Achieved stability in water uptake for the biocomposites
  • Demonstrated feasibility for industrial production through injection molding.

Abstract

• Direct thermoplastic processing of chia flour by-products without isolation steps. • Plasticizer’s combinations effectively modulate chia flour thermoplastic properties. • Water/glycerol balanced mechanical performance and water uptake stability. • Injection molding enable industrial chia flour thermoplastic production.
