Polyoxymethylene composites with natural and cellulose fibres: Toughness and heat deflection temperature
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Cellulose and abaca fibre reinforced polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were fabricated using an extrusion coating (double screw) compounding followed by injection moulding. The long cellulose or abaca fibres were dried online with an infrared dryer and impregnated fibre in matrix material by using a special extrusion die. The fibre loading in composites was 30 wt.%. The tensile properties, flexural properties, Charpy impact strength, falling weight impact strength, heat deflection temperature and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated for those composites. The fibre pull-outs, fibre matrix adhesion and cracks in composites were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the tensile strength of composites was found to reduce by 18% for abaca fibre and increase by 90% for cellulose fibre in comparison to control POM. The flexural strength of composites was found to increase by 39% for abaca fibre and by 144% for cellulose fibre. Due to addition of abaca or cellulose fibre both modulus properties were found to increase 2-fold. The notched Charpy impact strength of cellulose fibre composites was 6-fold higher than that of control POM. The maximum impact resistance force was shorted out for cellulose fibre composites. The heat deflection temperature of abaca and cellulose fibre composites was observed to be 50 °C and 63 °C higher than for control POM respectively.
