Specialty paper products made using natural pulps is an attractive field for the paper industry and for researchers. Studying the thermal dynamics of plant pulps is an important step toward improving the thermal stability of papers. This study has the aim of gaining detailed insight into the thermal properties of softwood, hardwood, flax, hemp, mulberry, bamboo, bagasse, and esparto pulps. Chemical composition and thermogravimetric analyses of these non-wood pulps were performed to find the correlations between the chemical, structural, and thermal properties of these pulps. In addition, the Malek model for kinetics of the thermo-decomposition process of pulps is proposed. The kinetics of the most probable mechanism function for G(α) = 1-(1-α) 1/2 of the thermo-decomposition process of plant fibers from 200 to 400 °C is deduced using the Malek model. This study also provides a method to help select the most promising pulps for specialty materials.

“…In a previous study, we explored the potential of different lignocellulosic fibers (sugarcane bagasse, coconut, curaua and sisal) to reinforce the PBS matrix [32]. The present paper will further analyze the influence of length and amount of curaua fibers on the final properties of PBS-based composites.…”

“…The test was carried out as described elsewhere [32], in triplicate following a procedure adapted from ASTM D570-98. The samples were weighed at different time intervals and the percentage increase in weight corresponds to the water absorption (A%), as shown by the following equation, whereas m t is the measured weight at different times and m o the initial weight:…”

Biocomposites based on poly(butylene succinate) and curaua: Mechanical and morphological properties

et al. 2015

Biocomposites based on poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and curaua fibers have been produced by compression molding, and investigated as a function of fiber length and amount.Mechanical tests, water uptake and morphology studies were carried out in order to assess the composite features according to the characteristics of the reinforcing agents. It turns out that the impact and flexural strengths increase with fiber content. Moreover, the fiber length, varying from 1 to 4 cm for the composite reinforced with 20 wt% of fiber, influences impact strength, which is higher for shorter than for longer fibers. However, flexural strength is not greatly influenced by the length of the fibers. Water uptake studies reveal a higher sensitivity of the material to fiber content rather than fiber size. Biocomposites, which are characterized by enhanced mechanical properties as compared to PBS, can have different applications, for example in rigid packaging or interior car parts.

“…Among those materials, poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) is considered an outstanding biodegradable polyester due to its good film-forming property and good thermodynamic properties compared to other polyesters [7][8][9]. It is widely used in food packages, agriculture film, biomedicines, and other fields [10][11][12][13]. However, the industrialization of PBS has not been widening due to the high price.…”

Novel liquid bio-composites were successfully prepared by blending the N-methyl diethanolamine (N-MDEA) modified poly (butylene succinate) (N-PBS) and carboxy-methylated cellulose (CMC) or hydroxyl-ethyl cellulose (HEC) in solution. In order to reveal the interaction mechanism between N-PBS and cellulose derivatives, the mixing energy and interaction parameter of (N-PBS)-CMC and (N-PBS)-HEC were calculated using molecular dynamics simulation. In addition, the interaction mechanism of composites was explained using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The molecular dynamics simulation results indicated that the hydrogen bonding, physical absorption, and electrostatic interaction produced between -OH, -OCO-, -COOH, and -N-CH 2 -functional groups. The (N-PBS)-HEC composite displayed more stable system than that of (N-PBS)-CMC composite. The results were explained using absorption peak of functional groups in FTIR and the binding energy distribution change of C1s, O1s, and N1s elements in XPS and smooth surface between N-PBS and HEC.
