Toughening of nanocelluose/PLA composites via bio-epoxy interaction: Mechanistic study

Journal Article Meng, Xiangtao ; Bocharova, Vera ; Tekinalp, Halil L. ; ... - Materials & Design

While PLA possesses modest to good strength and stiffness, broader application is hindered by its brittle nature. The aim of this study was to develop strong and tough polymeric materials from renewable biomaterials and understand the underlying interactions and mechanisms. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) were compounded with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to create a PLA-CNF-ESO tertiary nanocomposite system. Tensile and dynamic mechanical analyses were performed to see how variations in ESO and CNF content affect mechanical properties such as strength, modulus, ductility, and toughness. It was found that at low CNF levels (10 wt %) the additionmore »« less

Bio-reinforced composite development for additive manufacturing: Nanocellulose-PLA

Technical Report Tekinalp, Halil L. ; Lu, Yuan ; Kunc, Vlastimil ; ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is transitioning from being only a prototyping method towards becoming a manufacturing technique for the quick production of parts with complex geometries. For the complete realization of this transition, the mechanical properties of the printed parts have to meet the requirements of actual load-bearing structural components. Integration of a reinforcing second phase into a polymer is a viable approach for the improvement of resins mechanical performance. Addition of carbon fibers into acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) has already been shown to improve its mechanical properties compared to the neat ABS resin (both additively manufactured), and led to the manufacture ofmore »« less

High-Strength Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biocomposites Reinforced by Epoxy-Modified Pine Fibers

Journal Article Zhao, Xianhui ; Li, Kai ; Wang, Yu ; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

The stiffness and tensile strength of biopolymers (e.g., polylactic acid (PLA)) are less than desirable for load-bearing applications in their neat form. The use of natural fibers as reinforcements for composites (for large-scale three-dimensional (3D) printing) has expanded rapidly, attributable to their low weight, low cost, high stiffness, and renewable nature. Silane and acid/alkali are typically used to modify the surface of natural fibers to improve the fiber/polymer interfacial adhesion. In this study, a simple method of impregnation was developed to modify pine fibers (loblolly, mesh size of 90–180 μm, 30 wt %) with a solvent-borne epoxy to reinforce PLA.more »« less

Space radiation effects on the dimensional stability of a toughened epoxy-graphite composite

Journal Article Sykes, G F ; Bowles, D E - SAMPE Q.; (United States)

The effects of a simulated space radiation environment on the dimensional stability of an elastomer-toughened epoxy-graphite composite were determined. The response of the material was characterized following exposure to radiation doses equivalent to geosynchronous orbit lifetimes ranging from 6 months to 30 years. The results show that radiation interacts with the epoxy matrix to embrittle the composite, beginning at relatively low total doses (10/sup 7/ rads). The embrittlement results in thermal expansion changes and significant laminate microcracking during thermal cycling. These property changes could limit the service life of this material in some spacecraft applications. 14 references, 10 figures.
