Lignocellulosic Fibre Reinforced Caseinate Plastics
Source abstract
Abstract
Caseinate plastics were reinforced with two lignocellulosic fibres, i.e. wood pulp fibre and flax bast fibre by means of kneading and subsequent injection moulding. The tensile modulus increased from 200 MPa for the unfilled plastic to 1200 MPa at 20 wt% fibre addition. Simultaneously, the tensile strength increased from 6 to 30 MPa going from 0 to 20 wt% fibre incorporation. These results indicate a good interaction between the fibres and the mainly hydrophilic caseinate matrix.
