The estimation of ability to reclame of moduling sands with biopolymer binders
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Applied up till now organic binding materials, on the basis of synthetic resins are characterised by good technological properties, but cause high emission of harmful substances. That’s why contemporary scientific researches are leading to progressive replacing the binders obtained from petrochemical materials with polymer biocomposites coming from renewable resources. Increasing concern of aliphatic polyesters such as polylactide, polycaprolactone, poly(hydroxyalkanoates) and aliphatic-aromatic polyesters is caused by the possibility of using them for producing many biodegradable products. In that context it is important to expand the researches connected to using biopolymers as moulding sands binders. Contemporary authors’ papers were focused on technological properties and harmfulness for the environment of this ecological moulding sands. TThis article takes into consideration the ability to reclamation of moulding sands with biopolymer binders.T
