Surface Modified

3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was used as a coupling agent to graft thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) onto a nanosilica surface. The modification of TPU on the surface of silica nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR, NMR, ESCA and TGA assessment. The grafting degree of TPU onto the silica was about 7.3%. The incorporation of surface-modified silica (TAS50) into poly(lactic acid) (PLA) induced the nucleation of PLA, giving a higher crystallisation peak temperature, which would be advantageous for fast processing cycles in the commercial moulding process. With pristine silica incorporated into PLA, the variation in the cold crystallisation and melting temperatures was limited. However, for the surface-modified silica filled PLA, a lower cold crystallisation temperature at 112.1 °C and a shift of melting temperature from Tm1 to Tm2 at 167.7 °C were observed. The cooling rate also played an essential role in the derived crystalline forms. The tensile strength of the composite containing modified silica was slightly higher than that with the pristine silica, even though both showed similar degrees of silica dispersion from the morphology observation. For the surface-modified silica composite, the optical transmittance was higher than that of unmodified silica case. This finding implies the significance of the surface modification.

Sisal Fibers

The interest on poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends has increased during the last years due to their promising properties. The novelty of the current work focuses on the preparation and characterization of biocomposites based on PLA/PMMA matrix and NaOH-treated sisal fibers. The effect of the addition of treated sisal fibers on the physico-mechanical properties of high polylactide content composites was studied. For this purpose, PLA/PMMA blend (80/20 wt%) was prepared by melt-blending and reinforced with different fiber contents. Although composites showed interesting specific tensile properties, the estimated heat deflection temperature (HDT), that is, the maximum temperature at which a polymer system can be used as a rigid material, barely increased 4°C respect to unreinforced system. After the annealing process, the HDT of the unreinforced polymer blend increased around 25°C, whereas the composites showed an increase of at least 38°C. Nonetheless, the specific tensile strength of composite decreased approximately 48% because the adhesion between fiber and polymer matrix was damaged and cracks were formed during annealing process.
