The present of this study aims to the use of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) improving the ability of fiber in the dyeing process. Carboxymethyl cellulose was synthesized from cellulose of banana leaves by esterification method. The effect of carboxymethyl cellulose contents on the structure, thermal properties and dye absorption were also investigated. Then, the CMC/PP composite fibers were obtained from single screw extruder at various contents of CMC (1wt%, 3wt% and 5wt%). The results from XRD showed that CMC were good compatibility with PP composite fibers. The results of thermal analysis showed that the incorporation of CMC into PP did not affect the melt temperature of the composite fibers. After dyeing, the dye however was absorbed by the CMC/PP fibers more than the pristine PP fibers. The results of absorption of dye on the CMC/PP fibers from spectrophotometer showed that dye absorbability were significantly increased with CMC contents.

Abstract This work investigated the redispersion and setting behavior of highly loaded (~18 wt.% solids in water) pastes of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). A single-screw extruder was used to continuously process CNF+CMC pastes into cord. The adsorption of CMC onto the CNF fibrils was assessed through zeta potential and titration which revealed a surface charge change of ~61 % from -36.8 mV and 0.094 mmol/g COOH for pure CNF to -58.1 mV and 0.166 mmol/g COOH for CNF+CMC with a CMC degree of substitution of 0.9. Dried CNF with adsorbed CMC was found to be fully redispersible in water and re-extruded back into a cord without any difficulties. On the other hand, chemical treatment with hydrochloric acid, a carbodiimide crosslinker, or two wet strength enhancers (polyamide epichlorohydrin and polyamine epichlorohydrin) completely suppressed the dispersibility previously observed for dried-untreated CNF+CMC. Turbidity was used to quantify the level of redispersion or setting achieved by the untreated and chemically treated CNF+CMC in both water and a strong alkaline solution (0.1 M NaOH). Depending on the chemical treatment used, FTIR analysis revealed the presence of ester, N-acyl urea, and anhydride absorption bands which were attributed to newly formed linkages between CNF fibrils, possibly explaining the suppressed redispersion behavior. Water uptake of the differently treated and dried CNF+CMC materials agreed with both turbidity and FTIR results.

The polypropylene (PP)/ poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) in-situ microfibrillar composites were prepared by the melt blending technology using a single screw extruder. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) is used as the compatibilizer. The rheology was characterized on capillary rheometer, and thermal behaviors of the PP/PPS were investigated by DSC. The experiment results reveal that the melting PP/PPS composites conform to the law of Non-Newton and show typical shear-thinning behavior. The viscosity of PP/PPS composites is nearly independent of the PPS concentration at 270°С and 280°С , respectively. However, the contents of PPS have an influence on shear viscosity of the PP/PPS at 290С and 300°С . The DSC results exhibit that the crystallization temperatures (TC) of PP in the composites are higher than that of the pure PP, and the TCof PP increases slightly with increasing PP content in the composites. Moreover, the melting temperature of PPS in the composites decreases slightly with increasing PP content.

To improve the miscibility of native rice starch granules and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT), rice starch was hydrolyzed by a mixture of α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. The obtained porous rice granular starch was then mechanically blended with PBAT by single screw extruder. Many pits and holes on the surface of starch granules were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The rough surface of the rice starch granules improved the compatibility of the polymers in the blends, which consequently increased the tensile strength and the elongation at break. In addition, SEM also revealed that the porous granules were homogeneously distributed in the polymer matrix with no appearance of gaps.

The development of materials engineering has led to many significant discoveries one of which is biocomposite with its diverse applications. The addition of reinforcing materials in biopolymers improves the composite properties. This study aimed at investigating the effect of adding nanoclay on the tensile strength, morphology, functional group, and structure of extruded biocomposites with cassava starch matrix. This experimental research involved different concentrations of nanoclay i.e. 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%. The extrusion process was performed using a single screw extruder at 120°C. The samples were characterized by tensile testing, XRD, and SEM. The biocomposite reinforced with 5% nanoclay had the highest tensile strength of 10.8 MPa. The highest diffraction peak at 2θ of 19.4° appeared in the sample added with 5% nanoclay. The addition of excessive amounts of nanoclay can hinder the formation of exfoliated structures.
