With a view to research cottonseed protein in application of material field, cottonseed protein was used with glutaraldehyde to take place a crosslinking reaction, montmorillnite in nanometer level was also added to the reaction system, to manufacture a kind of cottonseed protein plastic with high mechanical properties and low water absorption. Influences of molding temperature, content of glutaraldehyde and montmorillnite to mechanical properties and water absorption were studied. Plastic samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and SEM surface topography. When the mass content of glutaraldehyde and montmorillnite to cottonseed protein is 30%, 6% respectively, the tensile strength and water absorption of cottonseed protein plastic is 19.1MPa, 27.8% respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
