This research evaluates the miscibility and performance of polypropylene (PP)/polybutylene succinate (PBS) and PP/polylactic acid (PLA) blend and natural-flour-filled, PP/PLA and PP/PBS blend bio-composites. The melting temperature (T m ) and glass transition temperature (T g ) of pure PP, PBS and PLA showed a single peak but differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) presented two peaks for the T m and T g of the PP/PBS and PP/PLA blends. These results indicated that the PP/PBS and PP/PLA blend systems existed as immiscible blends. These results were also confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs of the tensile fracture surface of the PP/PBS and PP/ PLA blends. At a PP/PBS and PP/PLA blend ratio of 70/30, the tensile and flexural strengths of bamboo flour (BF)- and wood flour (WF)-filled, PP/PBS and PP/PLA blend bio-composites were similar to those of BF- and WF-filled, PP and PBS bio-composites. In addition, these strengths of maleic anhydride-grafted PP (MAPP)- and acrylic acid-grafted PP (AAPP)-treated, BF- and WF-filled, PP/PBS and PP/PLA blend bio-composites were higher than those of non-treated bio-composites.  相似文献

The thermal behavior, morphology, ester-interchange reaction of Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) melt blends were investigated over the whole composition range(xPTT/(1-x)PET) using a twinscrew Brabender. The melt blends were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Single glass transition temperature (T g ) and cold crystallization temperature (T cc ) were observed in all melt blends. Melt blends were found to be due to the ester-interchange reaction in PTT/PET blend. Also the randomness of copolymer increases because transesterification between PTT and PET increases with increasing blending time. This reaction increases homogeneity of the blends and decreases the degree of crystallinity of the melt blends. In PTT-rich blends, mechanical properties decrease with increase of PET content compared with that of pure PTT. And, in PET-rich blends, tensile modulus decreases with increase of PTT content, but tensile strength and elongation is similar to that of pure PET.  相似文献

Melt-processed blends of zein and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) of varying molecular weights (55K, 360K and 1.3M) were compared based on mechanical and thermal properties. Generally, all samples stored at 50% RH exhibited a slight improvement in tensile strength, with the PVP360K samples showing the greatest improvement. At the higher levels of PVP, samples stored at 70% RH showed a decrease in tensile strength. Elongation was also more significantly impacted at higher humidity, with the higher levels of PVP causing greater elongation increases. Differential scanning calorimetry data for the blends showed single Tg values intermediate between the zein and PVP controls. Kinetic thermogravimetric data suggested a multi-step degradation interaction for the zein/PVP blends. Scanning electron microscope imaging of compression molded samples showed homogeneous surface contours for even the 20% PVP1.3M blend. Melt-processed blends of zein with polyvinylpyrrolidone of various molecular weights appear to be compatible. This work represents the first melt-processed blend of zein with PVP to generate a compatible blend.  相似文献

Blends of poly(l-lactide) (PLA) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) were prepared by melt mixing in order to improve the brittleness of PLA. A reactive compatibilizer with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), PE-GMA, was required as a compatibilizer due to the immiscibility between PLA and LDPE. It contributes to reduce the domain size of dispersed phase and enhance the tensile properties of PLA/LDPE blends, especially for PLA matrix blends. A reaction product between PLA and PE-GMA, which was formed during melt-mixing and considered to act as a reactive compatibilizer, was characterized using1H-NMR spectroscopy.  相似文献

The dyeability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fiber strongly depends on disperse dye structure due to the low dyeing temperature and the short dyeing time. Thus, the dye uptake value of PLA fiber is low for some disperse dyes and is needed to be improved. In the current study, the dyeability of PLA fiber is improved with the addition of N-Phenylaminopropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (AP-POSS) during melt spinning process. The effects of dyeing conditions including dyeing temperature and time, disperse dye type and AP-POSS concentrations are investigated on the dyeability properties of PLA fiber samples. The tensile, thermal and morphological properties of fiber samples are also characterized by tensile testing, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As the added amount of AP-POSS increases, the percent crystallinity increases and the tensile strength reduces. According to the dyeing results, AP-POSS is very effective for increasing the dyeability of PLA fiber especially for disperse dyes with low dye uptake values.  相似文献

Dense membranes of Chitosan (CS)/Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend were successfully fabricated using casting technique. The mechanical properties, moisture regain and water vapor permeability of polymer blend membranes were estimated by tensile test, moisture regain rate and dish method test respectively. The microstructures, morphology, chemical composition and thermal properties were also characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) respectively. Results indicated that there were interactions and good compatibility among CS, PLA and PVA. And the blend membranes have good breaking elongation and slightly decreased breaking strength, and show best moisture regain at the case of CS60 (the content of CS in the blends is 60 %). They also have excellent porous structure, which is beneficial to their air permeability and may also contribute to cell regeneration. With the adding of PVA content, the melting peaks of blend membranes reduce and gradually close to that of PVA, demonstrating that the regularity of CS molecular chain may be destroyed and hydrogen bonds of macromolecules in polymers were newly formed. As a result, solution blending of the three polymers could complement their disadvantages and significantly improve the membrane performance of a single polymer, thus promote the mechanical and biological properties of blend membrane.  相似文献

PLA/LPCL/HPCL blends composed of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), low molecular weight poly(ε-caprolactone) (LPCL), and high molecular weight poly(ε-caprolactone) (HPCL) were prepared by melt blending for bioabsorbable filament sutures. The effects of blend composition and blending time on the ester interchange reaction by alcoholysis in the PLA/LPCL/HPCL blends were studied. Their thermal properties and the miscibility due to the ester interchange reaction were investigated by1H-NMR, DSC, X-ray, and UTM analyses. The hydroxyl group contents of LPCL in the blends decreased by the ester interchange reaction due to alcoholysis. Thus, the copolymer was formed by the ester interchange reaction at 220 °C for 30–60 minutes. The thermal properties of PLA/LPCL/HPCL blends such as melting temperature and heat of fusion decreased with increasing ester interchange reaction levels. However, the miscibility among the three polymers was improved greatly by ester interchange reaction. Tensile strength and modulus of PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fibers increased with increasing HPCL content, while the elongation at break of the blend fibers increased with increasing LPCL content.  相似文献

Cassava bagasse is an inexpensive and broadly available waste byproduct from cassava starch production. It contains roughly 50% cassava starch along with mostly fiber and could be a valuable feedstock for various bioproducts. Cassava bagasse and cassava starch were used in this study to make fiber-reinforced thermoplastic starch (TPSB and TPSI, respectively). In addition, blends of poly (lactic acid) and TPSI (20%) and TPSB (5, 10, 15, 20%) were prepared as a means of producing low cost composite materials with good performance. The TPS and PLA blends were prepared by extrusion and their morphological, mechanical, spectral, and thermal properties were evaluated. The results showed the feasibility of obtaining thermoplastic starches from cassava bagasse. The presence of fiber in the bagasse acted as reinforcement in the TPS matrix and increased the maximum tensile strength (0.60 MPa) and the tensile modulus (41.6 MPa) compared to cassava starch TPS (0.40 and 2.04 MPa, respectively). As expected, blending TPS with PLA reduced the tensile strength (55.4 MPa) and modulus (2.4 GPa) of neat PLA. At higher TPSB content (20%) the maximum strength (19.9 MPa) and tensile modulus (1.7 GPa) were reduced about 64% and 32%, respectively, compared to the PLA matrix. In comparison, the tensile strength (16.7) and modulus (1.2 GPa) of PLA blends made with TPSI were reduced 70% and 51% respectively. The fiber from the cassava bagasse was considered a filler since no increase in tensile strength of PLA/TPS blends was observed. The TPSI (33.1%) had higher elongation to break compared to both TPSB (4.9%) and PLA (2.6%). The elongation to break increased from 2.6% to 14.5% by blending TPSI with PLA. In contrast, elongation to break decreased slightly by blending TPSB with PLA. Thermal analysis indicated there was some low level of interaction between PLA and TPS. In PLA/TPSB blends, the TPSB increased the crystallinity of the PLA component compared to neat PLA. The fiber component of TPSB appeared to have a nucleating effect favoring PLA crystallization.  相似文献

This article describes the effect of compatibilising agent on natural rubber (NR)/chitosan (CS) blends. Maleic anhydride (MA) was used as the compatibiliser. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus at various elongations of compatibilised NR/CS blends were studied by universal testing machine and the surface hardness was studied by Shore A Durometer. The interaction between the two components was analyzed by calculating the fraction of bound rubber in the blend from the relative weight loss data in benzene as the solvent. The incorporation of MA into NR/CS blends improved tensile strength up to 15 % of chitosan in the blend and above which it decreased. The elongations at break of the MA treated blends decreased and a drastic enhancement of surface hardness was observed by the addition of MA in the blend. The interfacial reactivity (adhesion) of NR/CS blends was studied as a function of the incorporation of compatibiliser by the estimation of relative weight loss. The data revealed an increase in the interfacial adhesion between NR and CS, resulting in an improvement of the gel fraction (%) in the blend. The effect of thermal ageing on the mechanical properties of the compatibilised blends was also studied. The morphology of the compatibilised blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy and it shows a continuous morphology.  相似文献

PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fibers composed of poly (lactic acid) (PLA), low molecular weight poly (ɛ-caprolactone) (LPCL), and high molecular weight poly (ɛ-caprolactone) (HPCL) were prepared by melt blending and spinning for bioabsorbable filament sutures. The effects of blending time and blend composition on the X-ray diffraction patterns and tensile properties of PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fibers were characterized by WAXD and UTM. In addition, the effect ofin vitro degradation on the weight loss and tensile properties of the blend fibers hydrolyzed during immersion in a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.4 and 37°C for 1–8 weeks was investigated. The peak intensities of PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fibers in X-ray diffraction patterns decreased with an increase of blending time and LPCL contents in the blend fibers. The weight loss of PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fibers increased with an increase of blending time, LPCL contents, and hydrolysis time while the tensile strength and modulus of the blend fibers decreased. The tensile strength and modulus of the blend fibers were also found to be increased with an increase of HPCL contents in the blend fibers. The optimum conditions to prepare PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fibers for bioabsorbable sutures are LPCL contents of 5 wt%, HPCL contents of 35 wt%, and blending time of 30 min. The strength retention of the PLA/LPCL/HPCL blend fiber prepared under optimum conditions was about 93.5% even at hydrolysis time of 2 weeks.  相似文献

In order to explore an alternative method instead of plasticization for improving the toughness, flexibility and processability of PLA based packaging films, two different kinds of modified polyethylene based elastomers, such as glycidyl methacrylate or maleic anhydride functionalized ethylene-acrylate based elastomers, were melt blended with PLA. Their properties were compared with conventional PEG plasticized PLA. The chemical interaction between end groups of PLA and epoxide or maleic anhydride functional groups of elastomers was shown by FTIR. Scanning electron microscopy showed that up to 20 % PEG loading, one phase morphology was achieved, however beyond this point, a phase separation was observed for plasticized PLA. For PLA/elastomer blends, a two-phase morphology was obtained as a result of immiscible nature of PLA and elastomers. Tensile and dynamic mechanical properties indicated that elastomer based blends were better than plasticized PLA independently from elastomer type. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis exhibited that the T g value was remarkably lowered in the plasticized PLA; however, it did not change in the case of elastomers. In terms of oxygen permeability and biodegradability, plasticized PLA was found to be better than elastomer based blends.  相似文献

Cellulose nanowhiskers were used to improve the performance of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The nanocomposites mixed with three different molecular weight of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) were characterized by mechanical testing, thermal gravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The tensile test showed an increase in tensile strength and elongation at break with the addition of PEG to PLA/CNW nanocomposites, the thermal analysis results showed an increase of crystallization temperature (T c) and crystallization compatibility (larger crystallization and melting areas), which indicated that the cellulose nanowhiskers (CNW) and PEG or CNW alone should not be considered as nucleating agents for the PLA matrix; The CNW was homo-dispersed which contributed to decreasing mobility of polymer chain segments. The compatibility between hydrophobic PLA matrix and the hydrophilic CNW was improved by the addition of different molecular weight polymeric-PEG. The thermo gravimetric analysis indicated that the thermal stability of the different composites were reflected well in the region between 25 °C and 245 oC. The structure of the PLA/CNW/PEG composites was characterized by AFM, which showed that the CNW dispersed in the PLA matrix evenly.  相似文献

We have prepared the blends of poly(pentamethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PPN) with poly(heptamethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PHepN) by solution blending method and investigated their glass transition behaviour, melting behaviour, and tensile properties. It was observed that the blends of PPN/PHepN(9/1) and PPN/PHepN(1/9) have a single glass transition, reflecting a homogeneous phase, whereas those of PPN/PHepN(7/3), PPN/PHepN(5/5), and PPN/PHepN(3/7) exhibit double glass transitions, representing the existence of two phases. The PPN homopolymer annealed below 90 °C shows triple melting peaks (T m1, T m2, and T m3). It was proved that T m1 is attributed to melting of thin lamellar formed during secondary crystallization process, T m2 to melting of thick lamellar created during primary crystallization, and T m3 to melting of crystals recrystallized after melting the primary crystals at T m2. For the annealed PHepN homopolymer, double melting endotherms (T m1 and T m2) were observed, caused by dual lamellar population with different thickness, i.e. T m1 corresponding to the melting of secondary crystal and T m2 to primary one. The Hoffman-Weeks plots, applied to the melting of primary crystals (T m2s), indicate that the equilibrium melting temperatures of PPN homopolymer, PPN/PHepN(9/1), and PPN/PHepN(7/3) blends are same to be 147 °C, and those of PHepN homopolymer, PPN/PHepN(1/9), and PPN/PHepN(3/7) blends to be 145 °C. Both the glass transition and melting behaviours demonstrate that the PPN/PHepN blend system is partially miscible. In addition, both the modulus and strength for the blends almost follow additive rule against blend composition, indicating that the PPN/PHepN blends are mechanically compatible over all blend compositions.  相似文献

The chemical and morphological properties of ramie fibers treated by chemical surface modification were examined with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The mechanical and thermal decomposition properties were evaluated with respect to tensile strength, tensile modulus and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Surface morphological changes were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, the capabilities of composites reinforced with various chemically treated fibers were analyzed by investigating tensile and impact strengths. Additionally, the thermal mechanical properties of the composites were investigated with thermal mechanical analysis (TMA). Based on the results of these analyses, we concluded that pectin, lignin and hemicellulose were removed and thermal stability was increased with chemical treatments. The composites reinforced with ramie fiber showed better properties compared with pure PLA matrix with respect to tensile and impact strengths. The peroxide-treated fiber composite had the smallest thermal expansion.  相似文献

Blends of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) were prepared by melt compounding. The miscibility, crystallization behaviors and toughening mechanism of the PBT/TPU blends were studied. Dynamic mechanical analysis results demonstrated that PBT was immiscible with TPU. Differential scanning calorimetry and wide angle X-ray diffraction results showed that the crystallinity of PBT decreased with increasing TPU content. Furthermore, blending with TPU did not modify the crystal structure of PBT. The small angle X-ray scattering results indicated that the crystal layer thickness decreased and the amorphous layer thickness increased with increasing TPU content, indicating that TPU mainly resided in the interlamellar region of PBT spherulites in the blends. An obvious improvement in toughness of PBT was achieved with addition of TPU. Neat PBT had elongation at break and impact strength of about 15 % and 2.9 kJ/m2, respectively. However, the elongation at break and impact strength of the 70/30 PBT/TPU blend reached 410 % and 62.9 kJ/m2, respectively. The morphology of the PBT/TPU blends after tensile and impact tests was investigated, and the corresponding toughening mechanism is discussed. It was found that the PBT showed obvious shear yielding in the blend during the tensile and impact tests, which induced dissipation of energy and, therefore, led to the improvement in toughness of the PBT/TPU blends.  相似文献

PLA/PLA-g-ABS blends were prepared and evaluated for mechanical properties performance. Firstly, carboxylic acid functionalized ABS particles were synthesized by grafting polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) onto ABS particle surface using potassium persulfate as an initiator. The reaction was followed by FTIR analysis. The resultant carboxylated ABS was melt mixed with virgin PLA in an internal mixer to obtain PLA/PLA-g-ABS blends. The obtained PLA/PLA-g-ABS blends were subject to injection molding to obtain specimens for testing evaluation. It was found that impact resistance values significantly outperformed neat PLA by 60 %, 87 %, and 150 % for PLA/PLA-g-ABS 10 wt%, PLA/PLA-g-ABS 20 wt%, and PLA/PLA-g-ABS 30 wt%, respectively. A significant increase in impact strength was contributable to ABS rubber which exhibited even dispersion and good interfacial adhesion. The impact strength was dependent on the percent loading of PLAg-ABS; the more the PLA/PLA-g-ABS the higher the impact strength value. In a similar manner, tensile strength increases when loaded with PLA/PLA-g-ABS albeit at lesser effect. Considering the percent elongation, a massive increase in percent elongation was recorded in case of PLA/PLA-g-ABS 20 wt% and PLA/PLA-g-ABS 30 wt%, implying that these blends were extremely flexible and tough when compared to neat PLA, control, and PLA/PLA-g-ABS 10 wt%.  相似文献

This study presents the mechanical and thermal properties of environment-friendly composites made from recycled newspaper fibers reinforced recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) resin with the addition of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) as compatibilizer. The effect of SEBS-g-MA addition (i.e., 10 phr) by using a twin-screw extruder to the rPET resin, followed by different fiber content (5, 10 and 15 wt.%) on the tensile, flexural and impact properties of the composites were determined. Stiffness of composites increased significantly compared to those of rPET/SEBS-g-MA blend. Fiber addition resulted in moderate increases in both tensile and flexural strength of the composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) photomicrographs of the impact fracture surfaces demonstrate good adhesion at 5 and 10 % fiber content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the presence of newspaper fibers enhanced the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics and crystallinity. Thermal stability of the composites was improved as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).  相似文献

Optimization of mechanical properties is required in the applications of tissue-engineered scaffolds. Thermal annealing strategy is proposed to improve the mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte complex nanofiber membranes. The effects of annealing on the structural and mechanical properties of electrospun chitosan-gelatin (CG) nanofiber membranes were investigated using tensile tests, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Tensile test results showed that annealing processing at 90 °C produced 1.3-fold and 1.1-fold increase on Young’s modulus and tensile strength, respectively. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, it was found there was a formation of partial interfiber bonding when annealing temperature was elevated over the glass transition temperature (T g ) of CG nanofibers. FTIR results showed enhanced molecular interactions within fibers, suggesting that annealing treatment promoted the conjunction between chitosan and gelatin. In contrast, no detectable changes in crystallinity for CG nanofiber specimens were exhibited on XRD patterns following annealing treatment. In addition, thermal annealing induced the improvement in thermal stability, aqueous stability and swelling capacity. Therefore, annealing is proved to be an effective strategy for mechanical enhancement of polyelectrolyte complex nanofibrous scaffolds. The enhanced stiffness and strength is mainly attributed to the formation of interfiber bonding and strengthened molecular interactions between chitosan and gelatin.  相似文献

We herein report the preparation and crystallization behavior of polylactide (PLA) nanocomposites reinforced with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane-modified montmorillonite (POSS-MMT), which is prepared by exchanging sodium cations of pristine sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) with protonated aminopropylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-NH3 +). PLA nanocomposites with 1–10 wt% POSS-MMT contents are manufactured via melt-compounding, and their structures and melt-crystallization behavior are investigated. It is characterized that POSS-MMT nanoparticles in the nanocomposites have an exfoliated structure of MMT silicates with POSS-NH3 + and partial POSS-NH2 crystals. DSC cooling thermograms suggest that the overall melt-crystallization rates of the nanocomposite with only 3 wt% POSS-MMT are remarkably enhanced in comparison with the neat PLA. From the isothermal crystallization analysis based on the Avrami model, the overall melt-crystallization of PLA/POSS-MMT nanocomposites is found to be dominated by the heterogeneous nucleation and three-dimensional spherulite growth. Isothermal melt-crystallization experiments using a polarized optical microscope show that the spherulite nucleation density of PLA/POSS-MMT nanocomposites is much higher than that of the neat PLA, whereas the spherulite growth rates of all the nanocomposites are almost identical with the rate of the neat PLA. It is concluded that the highly enhanced melt-crystallization rates of PLA/POSS-MMT nanocomposites stem from the dominant nucleation effect of POSS-MMT nanoparticles for PLA crystals.  相似文献

Well-aligned PMIA nanofiber mats were fabricated by electrospinning and then hot-stretching along the fiber axis was used to improve the mechanical properties of nanofibers in this paper. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the morphology and properties of nanofibers. The results showed that the nanofibers became thinner and better alignment than the as-spun nanofibers after hotstretching, and the average diameter of the nanofibers decreased with the increasing of the tensile force. In the same time, hotstretching improved the crystallinity and T g of the as-spun PMIA nanofibers. The tensile strength and modulus of the hotstretched nanofiber mats peaked at ca.50 % and ca.196 % respectively at the tensile force of 12 N compared with the as-spun nanofiber mats.  相似文献
