Abstract
In this research, maleated poly(lactic acid) (PLA-g-MA) was manufactured by different levels of maleic anhydride (MAH). Also PLA-g-MA effects as a compatibilizer were investigated on PLA/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) composites. The grafting reaction was performed in the presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as an initiator at constant level (0.2 phr) via reactive extrusion. Furthermore, the effects of four different levels of MAH (1–4 phr) were studied on the physical properties of PLA grafted films. We used the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and titration methods for confirmation of the grafting process. Based on the titration method, the greatest amount of yield was gained by 4 phr of MAH in grafting. Contact angle analysis shows that increasing the amount of MAH led to a decrease in the contact angle of films. Moreover, the glass transition temperature (Tg) and % crystallinity were decreased by increasing MAH content. PLA-g-MA was added to the composites in two levels of 3% and 5% in total. CNF was used at a constant level of 5%. The thermal, morphological and mechanical properties of nanocomposites were determined as a function of PLA-g-MA content using thermogravimetric analysis, heat distortion temperature (HDT) and tensile testing. All the prepared nanocomposite materials showed improvement in the mechanical and thermal properties compared to neat PLA.
