Lignocellulosic Filler

Eco-efficient Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) have been obtained using poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hexanoate) (PHBH) as the polymer matrix, and almond shell flour (ASF), a by-product from the agro-food industry, as filler/reinforcement. These WPCs were prepared with different amounts of lignocellulosic fillers (wt %), namely 10, 20 and 30. The mechanical characterization of these WPCs showed an important increase in their stiffness with increasing the wt % ASF content. In addition, lower tensile strength and impact strength were obtained. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) study revealed the lack of continuity and poor adhesion among the PHBH-ASF interface. Even with the only addition of 10 wt % ASF, these green composites become highly brittle. Nevertheless, for real applications, the WPC with 30 wt % ASF is the most attracting material since it contributes to lowering the overall cost of the WPC and can be manufactured by injection moulding, but its properties are really compromised due to the lack of compatibility between the hydrophobic PHBH matrix and the hydrophilic lignocellulosic filler. To minimize this phenomenon, 10 and 20 phr (weight parts of OLA-Oligomeric Lactic Acid per one hundred weight parts of PHBH) were added to PHBH/ASF (30 wt % ASF) composites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) suggested poor plasticization effect of OLA on PHBH-ASF composites. Nevertheless, the most important property OLA can provide to PHBH/ASF composites is somewhat compatibilization since some mechanical ductile properties are improved with OLA addition. The study by thermomechanical analysis (TMA), confirmed the increase of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) with increasing OLA content. The dynamic mechanical characterization (DTMA), revealed higher storage modulus, E’, with increasing ASF. Moreover, DTMA results confirmed poor plasticization of OLA on PHBH-ASF (30 wt % ASF) composites, but interesting compatibilization effects.

Both tensile and tear strength values of PLAxEGMCy blown-film specimens in machine and transverse directions improve significantly and reach the maximum values as their EGMC contents approach an optimum value of 6 wt%. The melt shear viscosity values of PLAxEGMCy resins measured at varying shear rates are significantly higher than those of the PLA resin and increase consistently with their EGMC contents. FT-IR analysis suggest that the carboxylic acid groups of PLA molecules react with the epoxy groups of EGMC molecules during the reactive-extrusion processes of PLAxEGMCy specimens. Further DMA and morphological analysis of PLAxEGMCy specimens reveal that EGMC molecules are phase-separated with PLA molecules at EGMC contents equal to or more than 2 wt%, since distinguished phase-separated EGMC droplets and tanδ transitions were found on fracture surfaces and tanδ curves of PLAxEGMCy specimens, respectively. Possible reasons accounting for the above interesting properties of the PLA/EGMC specimens are proposed in this study.
