The investigation of reinforcement properties of nano-CaCO3 synthesized from Achatina fulica snail shell through mechanochemical methods on epoxy nanocomposites

The current study investigates the reinforcement properties of novel nano-calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3) synthesized from Achatina fulica snail shell. The shell was wet-milled to nanoparticle sizes using mechanochemical procedures. Epoxy nanocomposites prepared with nanofiller content ranges of 1–7 ...

description The current study investigates the reinforcement properties of novel nano-calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3) synthesized from Achatina fulica snail shell.

Epoxy nanocomposites prepared with nanofiller content ranges of 1–7 wt.% were fabricated using a conventional resin casting method. Thermal stability and degradation with mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, and the hardness properties of prepared nanocomposites were determined.

Significantly, the inclusion of 1 w.% Achatina fulica snail shell nanoparticles increased the neat epoxy tensile strength by 75%, stiffness by over 25%, impact strength by 25%, and hardness 35%. These improved properties indicate that nano-CaCO3 synthesized from A. fulica snail shell possesses suitable reinforcement properties that can be used for nanocomposite fabrication.
