The effect of epoxy‐polyester hybrid resin on mechanical properties,rheological behavior,and water absorption of polypropylene wood flour composites

The effect of epoxy resin on mechanical and Rheological properties, and moisture absorption of wood flour polypropylene composites (WPCs) were investigated. The reactive mixing of epoxy resin with 30, and 40 wt% wood flour and polypropylene (PP) was carried out in twin screw extruder with a special screw elements arrangement. PP grafted maleic anhydrides (MPP) were used as coupling agent to improve the interfacial interactions of wood flour, epoxy resin, and PP. The tensile strength of composites decreased, and elastic modulus and moisture absorption increased with increasing epoxy resin content. The complex viscosity η* increased with increasing epoxy resin content of composites, and a synergistic effect in increasing the η* was observed at 3 wt% resin. The epoxy resin modified wood‐PP composites that chemically coupled by MPP showed minimum water absorption with highest elastic modulus. The experimental oscillation rheologyical data were used to drive a model to predict the flow behavior of WPCs, in a wide range of frequencies. POLYM. ENG.

Melt processing and characterization of multicomponent polymeric nanocomposites containing organoclay

Nylon 6 (Ny)/polypropylene (PP)/maleated polypropylene (PP‐g‐MA)/organoclay/wollastonite composites were prepared by melt processing. The polymers' composition was kept constant ([70PP/30Ny]/4PP‐g‐MA). Melt compounding was conducted using a twin‐screw extruder in three different methods: (1) simultaneous incorporation of the components into the compounding equipment, (2) preparation of [Ny6/clay] concentrate, and then in a second step, mixing the other components with the concentrate, and (3) mixing of PP with wollastonite and clay followed by the addition of Ny6 and PP‐g‐MA in the second step. Injection‐molded specimens were characterized in tension, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry. The sequence of component addition greatly influences the structure and properties of the composites. Enhanced mechanical properties were achieved when the two‐step mixing procedure was used for the PP/Ny6/PP‐g‐MA/clay system (method 2) and also for the PP/Ny6/PP‐g‐MA/clay/wollastonite system (method 3). The XRD pattern of the PP/Ny6/PP‐g‐MA/clay nanocomposites produced by the two‐step mixing method does not show a characteristic basal reflection of the pristine organoclay, indicating a predominately exfoliated structure of clay.

Properties of talc/wollastonite/polyamide 6 hybrid composites

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of PA6 hybrid composites containing talc and wollastonite. Talc and wollastonite filled single and hybrid composites were prepared with melt compounding in a twin screw extruder. The filler content was 40% by weight and the wollastonite/talc ratio was 40/0, 30/10, 20/20, 10/30, and 40/0. The melt flow rate measurements showed that incorporation of fillers into the polyamide 6 (PA6) resulted in an increment in melt viscosity of composites. The presence of a homogeneous dispersion of fillers in the matrix was obtained from morphological analysis. It was revealed from the mechanical tests that in most cases, mechanical properties of 20/20 hybrid composites were significantly higher than that of the single and the other hybrid composites. Heat deflection temperature of the composite was markedly improved by the addition of fillers. Differential scanning calorimeter analysis showed that talc and wollastonite acted as a nucleating agent for PA6. POLYM. COMPOS., 36:739–746, 2015. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineers

Effects of malonic acid treatment on crystal structure,melting behavior,morphology, and mechanical properties of isotactic poly(propylene)/wollastonite composites

Wollastonite is treated with a new surface modifier (malonic acid). The influence of malonic acid treatment on the crystallization and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/wollastonite composites has been studied. The results of differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X‐ray diffractometry, and polarized light microscopy prove that malonic acid‐treated wollastonite increases the relative content of β‐crystal form of PP. The scanning electron microscopy shows that malonic acid‐treated wollastonite has better compatibility with PP matrix than the untreated wollastonite. Higher β‐phase contents, smaller spherulite sizes, and better compatibility with PP matrix of the composites containing malonic acid‐treated wollastonite result in improved impact strength and tensile strength, but lower flexural modulus. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy show that malonic acid reacts with the Ca²⁺ of wollastonite to form the calcium malonate, which acts as an effective β‐nucleating agent. POLYM.

Single screw extrusion compounding of particulate filled thermoplastics: State of dispersion and its influence on impact properties

The compounding of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene (PP) is discussed with reference to a single-screw extruder and variants of mixing sections. The mixing section on the screw is exchangeable, and two dispersive mixing elements, namely the Zorro and the Maddock elements, were used. The calcium carbonate was surface treated with a liquid titanate coupling agent (LICA12). The impact strength was measured by a notched Izod impact tester with specimens having a U-shaped sharp notch. The fracture toughness for the PP homopolymer and the filled composites was determined using fracture mechanics principles. The results were correlated with the state of dispersion of the calcium carbonate filler. The effects of filler concentration and surface treatment were examined as well. Correlation between state of dispersion and impact properties for calcium carbonate filled PP was obtained. We also investigated the effect of various mixing elements on the state of dispersion. The experimental results indicate that good dispersion would improve the impact properties of the polymer matrix, but only at moderate filler loading. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The rheological modification of talc‐filled polypropylene by epoxy‐polyester hybrid resin and its effect on morphology,crystallinity, and mechanical properties

Reactive mixing of polypropylene (PP) and talc with epoxy‐polyester resin was preformed using a corotating twin screw extruder, and the rheology, morphology, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of composites were evaluated. The melts of composites mixed with resin exhibited yield stress and the variation of viscosity against frequency can be approximated in two lines with various slopes. The measurement of the suspension viscosity can be used to characterize the microstructural state of dispersion. Empirical formula was used to relate viscosity with particle concentration, and the analysis showed that the maximum volume fraction increases by using small amount of epoxy resin in the formulations. The morphological study of composites by scanning electron microscopy revealed that the use of resin improved the dispersion of talc in PP, which leads to the arrangement of talc platelets in the direction of flow even close to wall of the mold. The differential scanning calorimetry showed that the epoxy resin suppressed the nucleation effect of talc on PP while the degree and rate of crystallization increased. The compatibilization by maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene showed a noticeable increase in tensile strength of composites reactively mixed with epoxy resin. POLYM. ENG.

Phase structure and morphology of wollastonite‐reinforced polypropylene composites modified with SEBS and SEBS‐g‐MA elastomers

Supermolecular structure of isotactic polypropylene/wollastonite/styrenic rubber block copolymers composites were studied as a function of elastomeric poly‐ (styrene‐b‐ethylene‐co‐butylene‐b‐styrene) triblock copolymer (SEBS) and the SEBS grafted with maleic anhydride (SEBS‐g‐MA) content (from 0 to 20 vol%) by optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Wollastonite particles disturbed the spherulitization of polypropylene matrix. Both elastomers affected the crystallization of polypropylene matrix mainly by solidification effect. Although SEBS‐g‐MA encapsulated wollastonite particles more expressive than SEBS forming thus core‐shell morphology in higher extent, scanning electron micrographs indicated more constrained wollastonite particles in fractured surfaces of composites with SEBS elastomer. Moreover, SEBS‐g‐MA disorientated wollastonite particles and affected reorientation of the polypropylene crystallites stronger than SEBS elastomer. POLYM. ENG.

Microstructure and rheologic development of polypropylene/nano‐CaCO3 composites along twin‐screw extruder

Polypropylene/nano‐calcium carbonate (PP/nano‐CaCO₃) composites were prepared by using an intermeshing, co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder. Two different screw configurations, denoted by screws A and B, respectively, were employed. The former provided high dispersive mixing and the later provided high dispersive and distributive mixing. Effect of mixing type on microstructure and rheologic development of nanocomposites was investigated by taking samples from four locations along screws A and B. Transmission electron microscopy results show that in the sample at the exit of extruder, the percentage of nano‐CaCO₃ particles with the equivalent diameter lower than 100 nm along screws A and B is 66.5 and 79.0%. respectively. Moreover, for screw B, the number‐averaged diameter at four sampling locations is smaller than that for screw A. This means that the distributive mixing, provided by screw B, favors the size decrease of nano‐CaCO₃ in the PP matrix. In addition, rheologic results show that the decrease of complex viscosity for the nanocomposites is deeply related to turbine mixing elements, which provides distributive mixing. The online melt shear viscosity of the nanocomposite at the exit of extruder prepared by screw B is lower than that of pure PP. This is related to the dispersion of nano‐CaCO₃ in PP matrix. Finally, the relationship between rheologic properties and microstructure was analyzed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

Wollastonite‐reinforced polypropylene composites modified with novel metallocene EPR copolymers. II. Mechanical properties and adhesion

Mechanical properties and adhesion phenomena of isotactic polypropylene/wollastonite/metallocene propylene‐ethylene copolymers (iPP/W/EPR) composites were studied as a function of metallocene propylene‐based copolymers content from 0 to 20 vol%. The composites with different surface treated wollastonites and two types of EPR have shown similar behavior of most mechanical properties except elongation at break and impact strength respective of the difference in some characteristics of used EPR elastomers. The increase and the difference in elongation at break could be explained by renewed spherulitic morphology of the iPP matrix. Stronger interactions between EPR‐1 and two used types of wollastonites than between EPR‐2 and corresponding wollastonites concluded from the surface properties led to the difference in impact strength behavior. The determined mechanical properties confirm the assumption coming out of structural investigations that metallocene EPR elastomers are rather efficient impact modifiers than encapsulation compatibilizers for the iPP/wollastonite composites.

State of dispersion: Polypropylene filled with calcium carbonate

The influence of mixing conditions on the state of dispersion of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene composite was studied. The polymer and the filler were compounded in a twin screw extruder under various controlled processing conditions. The variables studied were the screw speed, the feed rate, the filler concentration, the barrel temperature profile and the surface treatment of the filler. The state of dispersion of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene composites was characterized using a scanning electron microscope, and was correlated to the residence time and the shearing conditions that were prevailing within the extruder. Degradation of the polymer matrix was also observed.
