Evaluation of Chemical, Thermal Properties and Statistical Analysis of Tensile Properties of Jute Fibers Yarns

The biodegradable composite films were prepared from corn stalk microcrystalline cellulose as filler and polylactic acid (PLA) as polymeric matrix. The crystallinity, the tensile properties and the thermal properties of the composites were tested. The results show that the tensile properties and thermal properties were improved with the addition of corn stalk microcrystalline cellulose. When corn stalk microcrystalline cellulose account for 10% of the PLA quality, the initial decomposition temperature was raised by 34.38, tensile strength increased by 58.3% and elongation at break increased by 31.1% compared to those of pure PLA.

Plasticization Effect

In this paper, the blended materials of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and thermal plastic starch (TPS) under the plasticization of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 were prepared. By detecting the thermal, rheological and tensile properties, it evaluated the plasticization effect of PEG 200 on blended materials. Specifically, for thermal properties, the addition of PEG 200 could improve mobile ability of PLA macromolecules, and accelerated them to form crystalline. But if the content of PEG 200 was more than 10%, this effect was impaired. For rheological properties, PEG 200 could change the fusant of blended materials from pseudoplastic fluid to newton fluid. However, if the PEG 200 was added too much, the blended material was too like perfect newton fluid to be prepared suitably. For tensile properties, when content of PEG 200 was more than 10%, the elongation and tensile modulus would changed sharply. All in all, 10% was the suitable addition parameter for PEG 200. Above this content, the plasticization effect of PEG 200 was too strong to impaired materials properties.

Cellulose Microcrystal

The biodegradable composite films were prepared from bagasse microcrystalline cellulose as filler and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as polymeric matrix. The crystallinity, the tensile properties and the thermal properties of the composites were tested. Bagasse microcrystalline cellulose was distributed in PVA films as the crystalline state. The results show that the tensile properties and thermal properties were improved with the addition of bagasse microcrystalline cellulose. When bagasse microcrystalline cellulose mass fraction was 5%, both temperature of initial decomposition and maximum weight loss rate of composite film were raised by 11.71°C and 36.86°C, and the tensile strength increased by 17.88%, and the elongation at break increased by 36.62% compared to those of pure PVA.

A Chain

Nanocomposites based on segmented poly(urethane urea) were prepared by reacting a poly(diisocyanate) with diamine-modified Laponite-RD nanoparticles that served as a chain extender. The nanocomposites were prepared at a constantNH2to NCO mole ratio of 0.95, while varying the fraction of diamine-modified Laponite relative to the free diamine chain extender. Compared to neat poly(urethane urea), all nanocomposites showed increased tensile strength and elongation at break. As Laponite loading increased, tensile properties passed through a maximum at a particle concentration of 1 mass%, at which a 300% increase in tensile strength and 40% increase in elongation at break were observed. A maximum in urea and urethane hard-domain melting endotherms was also observed at this Laponite loading. Optimal mechanical and thermal properties coincided with a minimum in the size of the inorganic Laponite phase. Nanocomposites containing diamine-modified Laponite had higher tensile strengths than those with nonreactive monoamine-modified Laponite or diamine-modified Cloisite.
