ABSTRACT

In the present work, treated and untreated novel RA reinforced PET thermoplastic polymer composites were developed. The fibers were chemically modified before fabrication of the composites to have a better fiber-matrix bonding. Thermo-mechanical properties of the composites were studied. An enhancement in mechanical properties were found at the beginning phase with the increase in treated rattan fiber content till optimum fiber loading (i.e 20 wt%) thereafter the properties decline. At 20 wt% fiber loading the mechanical properties obtained were 67.89 MPa of tensile strength, 83.29 MPa of flexural strength, 3.98 GPa of young’s modulus, and 24.18 kJ/m2 of impact strength. Different properties of the composites were thoroughly studied and the composites fabricated at 20 wt% of fiber content reveals excellent mechanical and thermal properties and found very much suitable for packaging applications.

摘要

在本工作中, 开发了经处理和未经处理的新型RA增强PET热塑性聚合物复合材料. 在制备复合材料之前, 对纤维进行化学改性, 以获得更好的纤维-基体结合. 研究了复合材料的热机械性能. 在开始阶段, 随着处理后藤条纤维含量的增加, 机械性能得到提高, 直到最佳纤维负载量 (即20 wt%) 之后, 性能下降. 在纤维含量为20wt%时, 拉伸强度为67.89mpa, 弯曲强度为83.29mpa, 杨氏模量为3.98gpa, 冲击强度为24.18kj/m2. 对复合材料的各种性能进行了深入研究, 在纤维含量为20wt%时制备的复合材料具有优异的力学和热学性能, 非常适合包装应用.
