Effect of unbleached and bleached softwood cellulose pulp fibers on poly(lactic acid) properties
Abstract
Global regulations are guiding society towards more sustainable material solutions. This increasing awareness of the need for environmentally friendly alternatives has led to a greater emphasis on biocomposites, which combine natural fibers with bio-based polymers. This study investigates how bleached softwood pulp fibers (BSWPF) and unbleached softwood pulp fibers (UBSWPF) affect the characteristics of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based biocomposites. UBSWPF is a more cost-effective option because it is manufactured with less processing steps than BSWPF. However, it is largely unexplored as a reinforcement in biopolymers. Through investigating the mechanical, thermal, and morphological aspects of the biocomposites, this study showed that UBSWP increased the modulus and impact strength of the PLA biocomposites better than BSWPF. The impact strength, modulus, and tensile strength of PLA-BSWPF and PLA-UBSWPF improved as the fiber content increased. However, a decrease in tensile strength was seen at higher percentages of UBSWPF in PLA. Despite the decrease in tensile strength at higher UBSWPF concentrations, both types of fibers improved the mechanical properties of the biocomposites, demonstrating a potential sustainable reinforcing material for PLA biocomposites. ; Peer reviewed
