The starch-based fishing composite fibers were prepared by one-step reactive extrusion and melt spinning. The effects of starch contents on the microstructural, thermal, dynamic mechanical, and mechanical properties of starch-based composite fibers were studied. And the degradation behaviors in soil of the fibers were also investigated. The compatibility between starch and HDPE is improved significantly by grafting maleic anhydride (MA) using one-step reactive blending extrusion. As the starch content increased, the melting temperature and the crystallinity of the fibers gradually decreased due to fluffy internal structures. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the transition peak α in the high-temperature region was gradually weakened and narrowed with increasing starch content; moreover, a shoulder appeared on the low-temperature side of the α peak was assigned to the β-relaxation related to starch phase. In addition, the mechanical results showed the significant decrease in the breaking strength and increase in the elongation at break of the starch-based composite fibers as the starch content increased. After degradation in soil for 5 months, the surface of the composite fibers had been deteriorated, while flocculent layers were observed and a large number of microfibers appeared. And the weight loss rate of the starch-based composite fibers (5.2~34.8%) significantly increased with increasing starch content (50~90 wt%).

Abstract High performances fiber and improved interfacial interaction can enhance the properties of polymer composites. Herein, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was oxidized by H2O2/CuSO4, a new Fenton process, to achieve oxidized MCC (OCNCs) with 16 ± 1% carboxyl content. Noteworthy, the thermal stability of OCNC was superior to CNC prepared by acid hydrolysis. Interestingly, the primary alcohol groups of MCC were selective oxidized and OCNCs achieved 11.0 nm, 231.6 nm and 72% of average diameter, length and degree of crystallinity, respectively. Then glycerol, starch and OCNCs were reactive extruded to fabricate TPS/OCNC bionanocomposites and their structure and performances were evaluated systematically. Strikingly, significant improvement in glass transition temperature (from 63.1 to 94.5 °C) and notch impact strength (from 1.3 to 3.9 kJ/m2) were noted for the amorphous TPS/OCNC with 1 wt% OCNC, and its tensile strength achieved 20.5 MPa, simultaneously. The improved mechanism of these performances was assigned to In-Situ forming “Carboxyl-Hydroxyl” hydrogen bonds which acted as the physically cross-linking interactions and improved the interfacial compatibility. We showcase Fenton reaction and reactive extrusion as the facile strategy to prepare sustainable and biodegradable TPS/OCNC bionanocomposites with properties more suitable for daily applications to replace petroleum-based plastic and eliminated the pollution of “microplastics.”
