Melt-viscosity and mechanical behaviour of polypropylene (PP)/wood flour composites: Effect of pulverization of wood flour with and without water

Abstract

This study analyses the effect of pulverization of wood flour with and without water to the melt-viscosity and mechanical behaviour of polypropylene (PP)/wood flour (WF) composites. The composites were processed in an extruder and subsequent injection moulding. The effects of initial wood flour particle size, type of trees (namely cypress and European scots pine trees) as well as plate gap (200 μm and 350 μm) in pulverization were also evaluated in terms of melt-viscosity, tensile properties, Izod impact strength and fatigue behaviour of the prepared composites. PP/WF composites with pulverised wood flour with water exhibited higher melt-viscosity than that of nonpulverized and pulverized wood flour without water reinforced PP composites. Tensile strength values of composites were slightly affected by the pulverization of wood flour and the enhancement of tensile strength values were depended on the type of initial WF. From Izod impact test results of composites, it was found that the composites reinforced with pulverized wood flour with water displayed higher values of impact energy compared with the composites of pulverized WF without water. Depending on the type of initial WF particle, the positive effect of pulverization of wood flour with water to the fatigue life of the composites was also observed.
