ABSTRACT
The suitability of Pongamia pinnata L .bark fiber (PPF) as polymer reinforcement was identified first time in this article. Chemical analysis, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis exemplified the presence of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin in PPF. Higher cellulose (62.34 wt.%), crystalline index (45.31%) and low hemicellulose (14.57 wt. %), density (1345 kg/m3), and crystalline size (5.43 nm) of PPF were beneficial for reinforcement. PPF is thermally stable up to 210°C which is acknowledged from the Thermogravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimeter curves. Surface roughness parameters of PF were identified through the Atomic Force Microscope. Comparatively lower density (1345 kg/m3) and higher tensile Strength (322 Mpa) of PPF have proved that it is an appropriate reinforcement to fabricate the eco-friendly bio-composites.
摘要
首次确定了马尾松皮纤维(PPF)作为聚合物增强材料的适宜性. 化学分析、X射线衍射(XRD)和傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)分析表明PPF中存在纤维素、半纤维素和木质素. PPF的高纤维素(62.34 wt.%)、结晶指数(45.31%)和低半纤维素(14.57 wt.%)、密度(1345 kg/m3)和结晶尺寸(5.43 nm)有利于增强. PPF的热稳定性高达210°C,这是由热重量分析和差示扫描量热仪曲线确定的. 用原子力显微镜对酚醛树脂的表面粗糙度参数进行了测定. PPF的密度较低(1345Kg/m3),拉伸强度较高(322MPa),证明了该复合材料是制备环保型生物复合材料的合适补强材料。
