Melt compounding of spray-dried cellulose nanofibrils/polypropylene and their application in 3D printing
Micro- and nano-scale cellulosic fillers exhibit excellent dispersion and distribution within a thermoplastic matrix during the process of melt compounding or injection molding. In this study, spray-dried cellulose nanofiber (SDCNF) powders were manufactured using a pilot-scale rotating disk atomizer spray dryer. Bleached Kraft pulp (BKP), unbleached Kraft pulp (UKP), and old corrugated cardboard pulp (OCC) fibrillated at a fines level of 90% were used as feedstock materials for spray-drying. BKP-, UKP-, and OCC- SDCNFs were compounded with polypropylene using a twin screw co-rotating extruder. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used as a coupling agent in the composite formulations. The tensile, flexural, and impact properties of SDCNF-filled PP composites increased at 10 wt% SDCNF loading. The presence of SDCNFs in the PP matrix resulted in faster crystallization and a 12% reduction in the degree of crystallinity of the neat PP. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of neat PP was reduced by up to 31% attributable to the presence of the SDCNFs. Application of the SDCNF-reinforced PP composites in 3D printing reduced the shrinkage rate of the printed neat PP by 39%, and the printability of the PP was significantly improved with the addition of the SDCNFs.
期刊介绍:
Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
