A waterborne polyurethane sizing agent with excellent UV resistance using bio-based carboxylic acid as neutralizer to enhance interfacial properties of CF/PA6 composites
In response to the environmental impact and non-renewable nature of fossil-based raw materials, a bio-based waterborne polyurethane (WPU) sizing agent was specifically designed to ameliorate the interface features of carbon fiber (CF) composites. The WPU formulation integrates sustainable resources to achieve both environmental benefits and high-performance characteristics. Thereinto, algae oil (AO) was converted into polyether amide polyol as a renewable raw material for the preparation of bio-based polyurethanes through a two-step chemical process. Furthermore, instead of conventional acetic acid, gentisate acid (GA) was incorporated as a bio-based neutralizing agent, which not only aligns with sustainability goals but also markedly improves the UV resistance of the sizing agent. Mechanical evaluations demonstrated a significant improvement based upon treatment with WPU sizing compared with the original composites. Remarkably, even after one week of exposure to xenon lamp irradiation, the treated CF composites retained over 97 % of their initial mechanical properties, highlighting the exceptional UV resistance conferred by the gentisate acid modification. This study introduces an innovative approach to developing environmentally friendly WPU sizing agents using bio-based neutralizers, showing considerable potential for applications requiring UV durability and robust interfacial strength.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
