Foaming of the biodegradable polymer composites and melting of the gas-filled materials were studied using thermal microscopy. Composite materials under investigation were based on the low density polyethylene and natural products used as the polymer composite fillers: wood flour and corn starch. Porous structure of the composite material was obtained using a chemical porogen “Hydrocerol BIF”. It has been shown that the foaming and melting processes occur differently in the polymer composite samples containing either different amount of the fillers or the same content of the filler with different particle size fractions. Thermal behavior of the composite samples was shown to be different from the behavior of pure polyethylene, which indicates non-additivity (superadditivity) of the contribution of the above components to the thermal behavior of the final composite material. All the results obtained using heating stage (hot stage) microscopy were in good agreement with the SEM and DSC data.

Abstract Microbeam bending and nano-indentation experiments illustrate that length scale-dependent elastic deformation can be significant in polymers at micron and submicron length scales. Such length scale effects in polymers should also affect the mechanical behavior of reinforced polymer composites, as particle sizes or diameters of fibers are typically in the micron range. Corresponding experiments on particle-reinforced polymer composites have shown increased stiffening with decreasing particle size at the same volume fraction. To examine a possible linkage between the size effects in neat polymers and polymer composites, a numerical study is pursued here. Based on a couple stress elasticity theory, a finite element approach for plane strain problems is applied to predict the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced epoxy composite materials at micrometer length scale. Numerical results show significant changes in the stress fields and illustrate that with a constant fiber volume fraction, the effective elastic modulus increases with decreasing fiber diameter. These results exhibit similar tendencies as in mechanical experiments of particle-reinforced polymer composites.
