The effect of filler content and size on the mechanical properties of polypropylene/oil palm wood flour composites

The effect of filler content and size on the mechanical properties of a new type of wood-based filler, oil palm wood flour (OPWF), in polypropylene (PP) was investigated. Four sizes of OPWF filler at different filler loadings were compounded using a twin screw compounder. All sizes of filler showed a similar trend of declining mechanical properties with increasing filler content. In terms of size, the composites filled with larger-sized filler showed higher modulus, tensile and impact strengths, particularly at high filler loadings. The OPWF used in this study was not treated with any coupling agent.     

Modified polypropylene wood flour composites. II. Fracture,deformation, and mechanical properties

The effect of grafting level of maleic anhydride (MA) in the maleated polypropylene (PPMA) on the fracture, deformation mechanisms, and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) wood flour composites was studied. Tensile strength, elongation at break, and impact strength are noticeably improved with addition of interfacial modifiers as maximum values of the examined mechanical properties were detected when concentration of MA in the compatibilizer was 1 wt %. To explore the microstructure and deformation mechanisms, scanning electron microscopy was employed. It was found that low concentrations of MA up to 1 wt % led to the creation of a thin and irregular polymer layer assisted formation of fibrillated plastic deformation zone around the wood particles, while the bulk PP matrix experienced voiding and brittle fracture. Higher concentrations of MA fetch to stronger interaction between PP and wood flour, the reason for brittle fracture and reduced ductility of the matrix. The impact fracture behavior of the composites during Instrumented impact tests is also discussed with respect to the interfacial bond strength. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tensile properties of wood flour/kenaf fiber polypropylene hybrid composites

Hybrid composites of wood flour/kenaf fiber and polypropylene were prepared at a fixed fiber to plastic ratio of 40 : 60 and variable ratios of the two reinforcements namely 40 : 0, 30 : 10, 20 : 20, 10 : 30, and 0 : 40 by weight. Polypropylene was used as the polymer matrix, and 40–80 mesh kenaf fiber and 60–100 mesh wood flour were used as the fiber and the particulate reinforcement, respectively. Maleic anhydride and dicumyl peroxide were also used as the coupling agent and initiator, respectively. Mixing process was carried out in an internal mixer at 180°C at 60 rpm. ASTM D 638 Type I tensile specimens of the composites were produced by injection molding. Static tensile tests were performed to study the mechanical behavior of the hybrid composites. The hybrid effect on the elastic modulus of the composites was also investigated using the rule of hybrid mixtures and Halpin–Tsai equations. The relationship between experimental and predicted values was evaluated and accuracy estimation of the models was performed. The results indicated that while nonhybrid composites of kenaf fiber and wood flour exhibited the highest and lowest modulus values respectively, the moduli of hybrid composites were closely related to the fiber to particle ratio of the reinforcements. Rule of hybrid mixtures equation was able to predict the elastic modulus of the composites better than Halpin–Tsai equation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

Microscopical damage mechanisms in glass fiber reinforced polypropylene

The damage mechanisms in two structurally different glass mat reinforced polypropylene materials were studied. In situ microscopy was applied during the tensile testing of thin notched sheets. Micrographs of the damage processes in the two materials are presented. The major points of damage initiation were transversely oriented fibers and fiber bundles. In the swirled mat material, cracks grew along the fiber bundles; crack formation and growth was relatively unaffected by macroscopical stress concentration. In the short fiber material, crack growth occurred at the notch. In both materials the maximum load was determined by the fibers oriented in the longitudinal direction. The different damage mechanisms were interpreted in terms of damage zone size. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 69: 1319–1327, 1998

Glass fiber/wood flour modified high density polyethylene composites

Composites of high density polyethylene (HDPE) with the reinforcements of glass fiber (GF) and wood flour (WF) have been studied in this work. High‐density polyethylene‐grafted maleic hydride (HDPE‐g‐MAH) was used as a compatibilizer. In particular, the effect of GF, WF, and HDPE‐g‐MAH on the overall properties of GF/WF/HDPE composites (GWPCs in short form) was systematically studied. The results indicate that HDPE‐g‐MAH as a compatibilizer can effectively promote the interfacial adhesion between GF/WF and HDPE. By the incorporations of GF/WF, the heat deflection temperature can reach above 120°C, and the water absorption can be below 0.7%, also the tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength of GWPCs can surpass 55.2 Mpa, 69.4 Mpa, and 11.1 KJ/m², respectively. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of high loaded wood flour and coupling agent (m-TMI-g-PP) content on properties of wood flour/polypropylene

The effects of wood flour content (60–80%) and m-TMI-g-PP content (0–14%) on the properties of wood flour/polypropylene composites (WF/PP) were investigated by means of mechanical properties, thermal analysis, dynamic rheological analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that WF significantly increased the mechanical properties, char yield, heat deflection temperature (HDT), vicat softening temperature (VST), T _c, G′, G″, and η ^?. However, WF above 70% led to decreased mechanical properties, so for the comprehensive consideration of the cost and environmental issues, 70% WF is the best. With the addition of m-TMI-g-PP, the mechanical properties, thermal stability, HDT, VST, △H _m, and T _m of composites were all got improvement, which was attributed to the strong interfacial interaction of m-TMI-g-PP on composites. However, when it exceeded 10%, the mechanical properties of the composites declined, it probably formed a separate phase in the PP matrix. Therefore, the 10% m-TMI-g-PP was chosen in WF/PP. In addition, the results were all further confirmed by SEM analysis.     

Parameters regulating interfacial and mechanical properties of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene

The performance of thermoplastic composites is known to depend on the intrinsic properties of the two composite components, the quality of the fiber–matrix interface, and the crystalline properties of their matrix. The objective of this work is to characterize the effect of the addition of modified polypropylene (PP) and silane coupling agent on the mechanical and interfacial properties of short fiber reinforced PP composites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), single fiber composite fragmentation tests (SFC), and mechanical testing are used to understand the different parameters regulating the interfacial properties of composites. No influence of the modified PP on the level of crystallinity is observed. Some differences in the size of the spherulites are observed for acrylic acid grafted PP (PP‐g‐AA). Those samples also show lower mechanical properties in spite of good interfacial interactions. Maleic anhydride grafted PP (PP‐g‐MAh) leads to better mechanical performances than PP‐g‐AA. A high MAh content PP‐g‐MAh grade with low viscosity is the best polymeric additive used in the present work. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 78: 2047–2060, 2000     

Effect of hydrothermal environment on moisture absorption and mechanical properties of wood flour–filled polypropylene composites

The moisture absorption and mechanical properties of wood flour–filled polypropylene composites in a hydrothermal environment have been studied by immersing the composites in water at 23, 60, and 100°C. The degree of moisture absorption was found to be dependent on the modification of matrix, the weight percentage, mesh size, and surface treatment of wood flours. It increased with increasing the immersion temperature. The tensile strength of all composites with wood flours of different contents, mesh sizes, and surface treatments increased after immersion in water baths of various temperatures, to either greater or lesser extents. The flexural strength and modulus followed a similar trend when immersed in water at ambient temperature. However, the contrary was true for composites when immersed in 60 and 100°C water baths. The impact strength increased after immersion in water at each immersion temperature, and the extent of such increment decreased with increasing the immersion temperature. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of fiber pretreatment condition on the interfacial strength and mechanical properties of wood fiber/PP composites

The effect of fiber surface pretreatment on the interfacial strength and mechanical properties of wood fiber/polypropylene (WF/PP) composites are investigated. The results demonstrate that fiber surface conditions significantly influence the fiber–matrix interfacial bond, which, in turn, determines the mechanical properties of the composites. The WF/PP composite containing fibers pretreated with an acid–silane aqueous solution exhibits the highest tensile properties among the materials studied. This observation is a direct result of the strong interfacial bond caused by the acid/water condition used in the fiber pretreatment. Evidence from coupling chemistry, rheological and electron microscopic studies support the above conclusion. When SEBS‐g‐MA copolymer is used, a synergistic toughening effect between the wood fiber and the copolymer is observed. The V‐notch Charpy impact strength of the WF/PP/SEBS‐g‐MA composite is substantially higher than that of the WF/PP composite. The synergistic toughening mechanisms are discussed with respect to the interfacial bond strength, fiber‐matrix debonding, and matrix plastic deformation. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

PP-g-MAH对玻璃纤维增强PP的影响

研究了聚丙烯接枝马来酸酐(PP-g-MAH)和剪切场强度等对玻璃纤维增强聚丙烯(GFRPP)性能的影响。加入PP-g-MAH后,GFRPP的拉伸强度持续增加,最大达82.5 MPa;弯曲性能大幅度提高;缺口冲击强度明显增大,最大达160.3 J/m;热变形温度基本维持不变。PP-g-MAH的加入可改善玻璃纤维与聚丙烯间的界面作用,从而有利于提高GFRPP的性能。在极高剪切场强度的条件下,GFRPP的力学性能和热性能有所下降。     

木粉疏水改性对HDPE基木塑复合材料性能的影响

采用一种操作简便且易于工业推广的方法对木粉进行疏水改性,具体过程为：将3种可热聚合的单体,即甲基丙烯酸甲酯（MMA）、甲基丙烯酸丁酯（BMA）和苯乙烯（St）均匀喷洒在木粉上,经过预热处理后,与配方中其他组分,如高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）和马来酸酐接枝聚乙烯（MAPE）等通过高速混合机混合均匀,采用双螺杆挤出机造粒后,注射制备木塑复合材料（WPC）样条,测试其力学性能。另外,考察了疏水改性对WPC接触角、维卡软化温度、洛氏硬度、吸水性能、热性能的影响规律。结果表明：疏水改性后WPC的接触角增大,木粉和HDPE的界面相容性改善,力学性能得到明显提高。其中,当MMA、BMA和St的添加量为3%时,WPC的力学性能最好,与疏水改性前相比,弯曲强度分别提高了17.3%、26.3%和27.5%,弯曲模量分别提高了24.4%、24.4%和26.0%,冲击强度分别提高了54.7%、57.7%和60.5%。 此外,疏水改性后WPC的维卡软化温度、洛氏硬度、耐水性和耐热性也得到改善。
