Abstract

Polymers, such as plastics and coatings, are susceptible to photo degradation initiated by heat or Ultra Violet (UV) light during processing or long-term use. In preventing the photo degradation of polymers, the sustainable polymer composite (SPC) is doped with different percentage of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). Hydrolyzed monomer of virgin cooking oil (VO) and waste cooking oils (WO) were mixed with hardener and solvent to form polymers namely as virgin oil polymer (VOP) and waste oil polymer (WOP). The mixture was stirred using mechanical stirrer at optimum condition for about 60 min at 50 ℃ resulting viscous compound. The VOP and WOP was leave to cure at ambient temperature for at least 6 h, as to ensure complete removal of solvent traces. Once dry, the film was stripped from the plate. The above steps were repeated to fabricate sustainable polymer composite (SPC) doped with different percentage of TiO2. The samples of BP are based on VOP and WOP while BPC was namely according to TiO2 percentage as VOP2.5, VOP5, VOP7.5, and VOP10; WOP2.5, WOP5, VOP7.5, and VOP10 respectively. Micrometer was used to measure the thickness of the sample at particular point ranging from 110 µm to 250 µm accordance to ASTM D1005-95. The above steps were repeated to fabricate sustainable polymer composite (SPC) doped with different percentage of TiO2. The UV accelerated weathering test was conducted according to ASTM D 4587-Standard practice for fluorescent UV-condensation exposures of paint and related coatings. Furthermore, tensile test was conducted to determine the strength and ductility of a material. The mechanical properties for tensile test of polymer thin films upon UV irradiation for photo degradation were significantly reduce its reduction strength. As compared to WOP, VOP gives better result for tensile strength and elongation at break.
