Potential Production

In this short review paper, the physical and mechanical properties of acacia wood, poly lactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) were analyzed. Existing factors that affect the mechanical properties of natural fiber composites were investigated and identified. By knowing these factors, a possibility and potentiality in implementing the natural acacia wood reinforced material with hybrid polymer were discussed. It was found that the acacia wood had the potential to re-condition soil and have the potential to become reinforced materials in hybrid polymer composites. In addition, using fully biodegradable polymer such as PLA and PHA made it sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The Impact

The paper describes the production and the mechanical characteristics of composites made completely from renewable raw materials, the corn straw fiber and the biodegradable plastic, poly(lactic acid). The effect of straw fiber content on the mechanical properties of the composites was studied and the optimum mass fraction was 15%. To enhance the mechanical properties of the composites, two different methods were tested. Maleic anhydride as the compatilizer was introduced into the composites but the changes of the mechanical properties were small. While the other method, pre-treatment for straw fiber before blending, the mechanical properties increased obviously. The tensile strength and the impact strength were 35.6 MPa and 1.67 kJ/m2, respectively.

Agent Treatment

Three different kinds of surface treatment procedures were used to modify the surface of bamboo fiber: alkali solution treatment (NaOH), alkali and silane coupling agent treatment (NaOH–KH550) and alkali and titanate coupling agent treatment (NaOH–NDZ201). Then the bamboo fiber reinforced poly (lactic acid) composites were prepared by Haake Mixer and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, mechanics performance tests, differential scanning calorimetry analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Vicat softening temperature, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that incorporation of surface-treated bamboo fiber obviously improved the mechanical properties of poly (lactic acid). Especially, the tensile, flexural and impact strengths of poly (lactic acid) containing NaOH–NDZ201-treated bamboo fiber were higher than those of poly (lactic acid) containing NaOH and NaOH–KH550-treated bamboo fiber. Moreover, the NaOH–NDZ201-treated bamboo fiber also greatly enhanced the thermal stability of poly (lactic acid). The improvement of mechanical strengths and thermal stability of poly (lactic acid)/bamboo fiber composites might be due to the better interfacial adhesion between poly (lactic acid) and NaOH–NDZ201-treated bamboo fiber.
