Properties of the bamboo fiber/biodegradable polymer composites based on interface reinforcement

  • 摘要: 随着国家“双碳”政策与“以竹代塑”倡议的持续深入,研发天然纤维增强生物降解聚合物材料具有重要意义。天然纤维与聚合物因极性差异,存在界面相容性差的问题,影响复合材料综合性能,限制其应用领域。通过碱处理竹纤维(BF),可有效强化其与聚己二酸-对苯二甲酸丁二酯(PBAT)间的界面结合,探究了基于界面增强的竹纤维/聚合物复合材料(BPC)性能变化规律。聚焦竹纤维物理结构与化学组分变化的协同作用,阐明了复合材料性能改良作用机制。其中,竹纤维经过6wt.%碱处理所制得复合材料综合性能最佳,拉伸强度、弯曲强度和冲击强度分别提升了48.81%、28.88%和37.5%,吸水厚度膨胀率和吸水率分别下降了43.6%和28.9%。通过纤维表面刻蚀作用形成机械互锁,利用部分化学组分降解作用,降低表面极性差异,两者有效协同增强了竹纤维与聚合物基体间界面结合。研究结果可推动该复合材料在生物医疗、智能建造、功能包装等领域的潜在应用,助力生态文明建设。

     

    Abstract: With the continuous deepening of the "dual carbon" policy and the "bamboo instead of plastic" initiative, the study on natural fiber-reinforced biodegradable polymer is important. However, the different polarity between natural fibers and polymer matrix leads to poor interface bonding, which affects the composite’s comprehensive performances and restricts its practical applications. In this study, bamboo fiber (BF) was pretreated by alkaline solutions to improve its interfacial compatibility with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). And, the effect of interface reinforcement on the comprehensive performances of bamboo/polymer composites (BPC) was explored. Also, focusing on the changes in physical structure and chemical component of BF, the mechanism on improving properties of the composites was proposed. The composites incorporating 6 wt.% alkali-treated BF exhibit optimal comprehensive performances, the tensile strength, flexural strength and impact resistance were increased by 48.81%, 28.88%, and 37.5%, respectively. The thickness swelling and water absorption decrease by 43.6% and 28.9%, respectively. The etching effect on the fiber surface promoted the formation of mechanically interlocked structure and partially degradation of chemical components could reduce surface polarity differences, which synergistically improved the interfacial bonding between bamboo fibers and polymer matrix. This study could facilitate the potential applications of the biodegradable composites in the fields such as biomedicines, intelligent construction and functional packaging, which shows the contribution to the construction of ecological civilization.
