Mechanical properties,crystallization characteristics,and foaming behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites

In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites containing different amounts of PTFE were prepared by melt blending. The mechanical, crystallization, and foaming properties of the prepared composites were investigated. Tensile test results indicated that the mechanical properties of the composite with PTFE showed significant reinforcement and toughening effects. The average elongation‐at‐break of the composite increased by 72% compared with pure PLA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the PTFE elongated into fibrils during blending and formed a physical network of entanglements in the melt. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) also showed that PTFE had a significant nucleation effect on polymer crystals and greatly increased the crystallinity of the PLA matrix. Moreover, PTFE dramatically enhanced the melt viscosity of PLA, which was investigated by rheological tests. The injection molding foaming experiments revealed that adding 1 wt% PTFE had the most notable heterogeneous nucleation effect on foamed cells, with the cell size decreasing from 81.5 μm for neat PLA to 25.2 μm, and the cell density increasing from 1.34 × 10⁸ cells/cm³ to 2.53 × 10⁹ cells/cm³.

Effects of the chemical foaming agents,injection parameters,and melt‐flow index on the microstructure and mechanical properties of microcellular injection‐molded wood‐fiber/polypropylene composites

Wood‐fiber‐reinforced plastic profiles are growing rapidly in nonstructural wood‐replacement applications. Most manufacturers are evaluating new alternative foamed composites, which are lighter and more like wood. Foamed wood composites accept screws and nails better than their nonfoamed counterparts, and they have other advantages as well. For example, internal pressures created by foaming give better surface definition and sharper contours and corners than nonfoamed profiles have. In this study, the microfoaming of polypropylene (PP) containing hardwood fiber was performed with an injection‐molding process. The effects of different chemical foaming agents (endothermic, exothermic, and endothermic/exothermic), injection parameters (the mold temperature, front flow speed, and filling quantity), and different types of PP (different melt‐flow indices) on the density, microvoid content, physicomechanical properties, surface roughness, and microcell classification of microfoamed PP/wood‐fiber composites were studied. A maleic anhydride/polypropylene copolymer (MAH‐PP) compatibilizer was used with the intention of improving the mechanical properties of microfoamed composites. The microcell classification (from light microscopy) and scanning electron micrographs showed that an exothermic chemical foaming agent produced the best performance with respect to the cell size, diameter, and distance. The polymer melt‐flow index and the variation of the injection parameters affected the properties and microstructure of the microfoamed composites. The density of the microfoamed hardwood‐fiber/PP (with a high melt‐flow index) composites was reduced by approximately 30% and decreased to 0.718 g/cm³ with an exothermic chemical foaming agent. Tensile and flexural tests were performed on the foamed composites to determine the dependence of the mechanical properties on the density and microvoid content of the foamed specimens, and these properties were compared with those of nonfoamed composites. MAH‐PP improved the physicomechanical properties up to 80%. With an increase in the mold temperature (80–110°C), the surface roughness was reduced by nearly 70% for the foamed composites. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of octa(epoxycyclohexyl) POSS on thermal,rheology property,and foaming behavior of PLA composites

Foams of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/octa(epoxycyclohexyl) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (ePOSS) composite were prepared by melt‐mixing and solid‐state foaming methods. A systematic and accurate method was applied to evaluate the effects of epoxy‐based POSS on the structure of dispersion, thermal behavior, and rheological properties of PLA composites. The application of secondary electron–electron back‐scattered diffraction technique was used to observe the cellular micromorphology and micro‐phase dispersion in composite foams, simultaneously. The results indicated that secondary dispersion of POSS aggregates occurred in foaming process. The enhanced melt elasticity, dispersity of POSS, and crystallization morphology of PLA/POSS composite had a significant effect on the controlling foaming behavior. Thus, a homogeneous and finer cellular morphology of PLA/POSS composite foam with high expansion ratio was obtained with a proper content of POSS in the composites. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Crystallization behaviors and foaming properties of diatomite-filled polypropylene composites

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics and foaming properties of polypropylene (PP) filled with various contents of diatomite were investigated. The results showed that the diatomite had strong effects on the PP crystallization kinetics, which significantly increased the crystallization temperature and reduced crystallite size. These were attributed to the nucleation effect of the diatomite particles and the complex interface properties between the PP chains and diatomite particles. Non-isothermal crystallization can be well described by the Mo’s method. The non-isothermal crystallization activation energy calculated by the Kissinger’s method increased with increased content of diatomite. The foamed PP composites, in particular, the PP composites filled with 10 wt% diatomite had better cell morphology ascribed to the facilitated crystallization and increased polymer melt strength compared with the foamed pure PP.

Physical extruder foaming of poly(lactic acid)—processing and foam properties

The article describes extrusion foaming of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) using carbon dioxide in the supercritical state as foaming agent emphasizing the steps required to establish a stable extrusion process. Low melt strength of PLA plays a role in optimizing processing conditions. The tests included PLA grades of different viscosity in addition to a chain extender. Processing at low temperature is possible due to the plasticizing effect of the CO₂ on the PLA melt and a sufficiently low melt temperature is also a prerequisite in production of stable foams due to improved melt strength. Foams were characterized by density, cell structure, crystallinity, and mechanical properties in compression. Low density, microcellular foams with density down to 20–30 kg/m³ were obtained for three different PLA grades. Varying die temperature and pressure drop rate we can explain observed abrupt drops in density with increasing CO₂ content by the interplay between cell nucleation and gas diffusivity at given temperatures. An effect on melt strength similar to using a chain extender is achieved by lowering the melt temperature at the die. Observed variations in sample crystallinity do not correlate with foam density. The PLA foams have good energy absorption capability. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2013. © 2012 Society of Plastics Engineers
