摘要: 选用甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯(GMA)作为偶联剂,探索了对杨木/塑料复合材料的力学性能和耐久性的改善;并利用SEM和FTIR分析了GMA加入苯乙烯单体(St)前后,高聚物与木材的界面复合效果与反应机制。SEM和FTIR的分析结果表明:GMA借助其自身的环氧基团,实现了与木材细胞壁上羟基的化学键合,且通过自身的双键实现了与单体St的共聚合,最终使高聚物与木材细胞壁较充分地实现了化学键联;高聚物以立体交联的形式填充于细胞腔中,与细胞壁紧密接触,无明显缝隙,复合效果良好。综合性能测试结果表明:GMA的加入,使改性木塑复合材料的静曲强度(MOR)、弹性模量(MOE)、顺纹抗压强度和硬度较未改性前分别提高45%、52%、71%和141%;尺寸稳定性较未改性前提高3倍;耐腐性较未改性前提高8.56倍。Abstract: GMA was used exploringly as a coupling agent to improve the mechanical properties and durability of Wood Polymer Composites (WPC). The reaction mechanism and complex effect of interface between polymers and wood cell walls were analyzed before and after adding GMA into Styrene (St) with SEM and FTIR. The analysis results with SEM and FTIR indicate that GMA reacts with the hydroxyl groups of wood cell walls by it s epoxy group,and reacts with styrene as a free radical copolymerization form by its double bond,which makes the polymers graftfully on wood sell walls;and the polymers fill mainly in wood cell lumina as a solid form,which contact tightly with the wood cell walls. The testing results of comprehensive performance show that the modulus of rupture (MOR),modulus of elasticity (MOE),compression strength and hardness of WPC modified by GMA increase 45%,52%,71% and 141% compared with the unmodified WPC,respectively;the dimensional stability of modified WPC improves 3 times;and the decay resistance of the modified WPC increases by 8.56 times that of the unmodified WPC.
