湿法混炼挤出微米毛竹纤维改性聚丙烯的力学及热膨胀性能研究

Study on mechanical and thermal expansion properties of micron bamboo fiber modified polypropylene prepared by wet mixing extrusion

  • 摘要: 在以竹代塑和双碳背景下,利用废弃毛竹制备的微米纤维改性聚合物替代传统塑料,将有效助力绿色固碳和可持续发展。微米纤维改性聚合物制备常采用干法混炼挤出工艺,即直接将干燥的微米纤维与聚合物、偶联剂挤出复合;但所得复合材料中的微米纤维易团聚,分散性欠佳。本研究采用湿法混炼挤出工艺,即将毛竹纤维经 2wt% NaOH溶液处理并水洗到中性,加水置于高速搅拌机中解纤成微米竹纤维(BMF),再过滤到不滴水状态制得湿浆,最后将湿浆与聚丙烯(PP)、偶联剂(马来酸酐接枝聚乙烯)共混后挤出成型;BMF添加量为10wt%-60wt%,所得复合材料具有良好的纤维分散性与界面结合效果。并对湿法混炼挤出复合材料的微观形貌、力学性能和热膨胀性能进行了研究,干法混炼挤出复合材料作为对照组。结果表明,当BMF添加量达到50wt%时,湿法制备的样品拉伸强度和弯曲强度高达37.8 MPa和53.04 MPa,比干法制备的样品分别高出19.92%和8.31%。在−30~60℃温度段,当BMF添加量达到60wt%时,湿法制备的复合材料热膨胀系数低至31.4×10−6/K,比干法制备的样品降低11.9%。此外,相比于干法,湿法所制备的BMF/PP复合材料在相同BMF添加量下均展现出更好的动态力学性能。

     

    Abstract: Under the background of replacing plastic with bamboo and double carbon, the use of micron fiber modified polymer prepared from waste bamboo to replace traditional plastic will effectively help green carbon sequestration and sustainable development. The preparation of micron fiber modified polymer is often carried out by dry mixing extrusion process, that is, the dry micron fibers are directly extruded with polymer and coupling agent. However, the micron fibers in the obtained composites are easy to agglomerate and have poor dispersion. In this study, the wet mixing extrusion process was used, that is, the bamboo fiber was treated with 2wt% NaOH solution and washed to neutral, and then added with water in a high-speed mixer to defiber into micron bamboo fiber (BMF), and then filtered to a non-dripping state to obtain wet pulp. Finally, the wet pulp was blended with PP and coupling agent (maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene) and extruded. When the amount of BMF added is 10wt%-60wt%, the composite material has good fiber dispersion and interface bonding effect. The microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal expansion properties of the composites prepared by wet mixing extrusion were studied, and the composites prepared by dry mixing extrusion were used as the control group. The results show that when the addition amount of BMF reaches 50wt%, the tensile strength and flexural strength of the samples prepared by wet method are as high as 37.8 MPa and 53.04 MPa, which are 19.92% and 8.31% higher than those of the samples prepared by dry method, respectively. In the temperature range of −30~60℃, when the addition amount of BMF reaches 60wt%, the thermal expansion coefficient of the composite prepared by wet method is as low as 31.4×10−6/K, which is 11.9% lower than that of the sample prepared by dry method. In addition, compared with the dry method, the BMF/PP composites prepared by the wet method showed better dynamic mechanical properties at the same BMF addition.
