ABSTRACT
Waste materials from animals and plants are environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic materials such as green composite reinforcement. Conventional construction materials such as asbestos, PVC, and synthetic boards contain chemical elements that are toxic to humans when exposed to heat. These materials easily decompose under high temperatures, releasing the poisonous substance into the environment This study investigates the thermochemical potential of chicken feather fibre (CFF) and sawdust (SD) composite board as an eco-friendly material for low-cost ceiling and particle board applications. The thermal stability and chemical properties of the CFF/SD composite board were characterised through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The TGA results show that CFF/SD composite samples S213, S222, and S231 exhibit optimal stability with 0.9, 9.3, and 1.9% weight loss when exposed to heat at the temperature regions of 0 – 300oC, 300 – 500oC and 500 – 848oC respectively. The chemical composition of CFF/SD composite indicates the presence of essential elements which make the composite non-hazardous. The experimental results demonstrate that composite boards produced from waste CFF/SD materials are promising alternatives for low-cost, eco-friendly ceiling and particle boards for indoor applications.
