Enhanced aging resistance of poly(ε-caprolactone)/brewers’ spent grain composites

The presented paper investigated the influence of brewers’ spent grain (BSG) extrusion pa-rameters on the photo-oxidative resistance of poly(ε-caprolactone)-based wood polymer composites. Filler samples characterized by the higher melanoidin content were more efficient in hindering of poly-mer degradation, inhibiting the decomposition of the polymer amorphous phase. As aresult, deteriora-tion of mechanical performance was limited, which was expressed by the higher values of aging factor for samples containing BSG extruded at higher temperatures.
