Popis: | Residual lignocellulosic flour from spruce and ground olive stone was used as a natural filler in poly- (hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV)-based composites. The morphology and the thermal properties of these com- posites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. Ligno- cellulosic fillers acted as nucleating sites for the crystalliza- tion of PHBV and strongly enhanced its degree of crystal- linity. Dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile properties of these materials were also studied. A significant reinforc- ing effect was displayed by dynamic mechanical analysis at temperatures higher than the glass-rubber transition of the matrix. In addition, for low-particle-size spruce, a stabiliza- tion of the modulus was observed up to 500 K. High-strain tensile properties did not show any reinforcing effect. This apparent disagreement was explained by the poor adhesion between the hydrophilic lignocellulosic filler and the hydro- phobic polymeric matrix. To validate this hypothesis, the experimental data were compared with predicted data in- volving the percolation concept. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 87: 1302-1315, 2003 |
