The influence of hot-press temperature and cooling rate on thermal and physicomechanical properties of bamboo particle-polylactic acid composites
Abstract
Extrusion and injection moldings are standard processes for fabricating natural fiber-reinforced plastic composites, but both processes are generally not suitable for production of large-size pieces and products with high loadings of lignocelluloses. In this study, a medium-density bamboo plastic composite (BPC) was completely and successfully manufactured from bamboo fibers and polylactic acid (PLA) in the ratio of 1:1 by the flat-platen pressing process. The effects of pressing and cooling parameters on the thermomechanical properties of the BPCPLA have been investigated. The BPCPLA prepared at temperatures >180°C and cooling rates >10°C min-1 exhibited superior mechanical properties and matrix crystallinity. Under these conditions, a stronger interaction between the filler and the polymer matrix occurs and the mobility of the molecular chains at the interface decreases, which leads to a higher stiffness of the composite.
