Complex Effects of Hemp Fibers and Impact Modifiers in Multiphase Polypropylene Systems
Abstract
<jats:p>Natural fibers-reinforced polymer composites have progressed rapidly due to their undeniable advantages. Most of the commercial polypropylene (PP)-based materials are characterized by either high impact toughness or high stiffness, while the manufacture of PP composites with both good toughness and stiffness is challenging at present. In this work, poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene] (SEBS) and poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (SBS) copolymers were used in different amounts as modifiers in PP/hemp fibers (HF) composites, with the aim to use them for electrical vehicle parts. The interface in these multiphase systems was controlled by the addition of maleated polypropylene (MAPP). SEBS and SBS showed different effects on the elongation at break of the blends and the corresponding composites due to the HF that stiffened the multiphase systems. Similarly, a different action of MAPP was observed in the composites containing SEBS or SBS: higher Young’s and storage moduli were obtained for the composite containing SBS, while greater elongation at break and impact strength values were recorded for the SEBS-containing system. In addition, a remarkable dispersion in the MAPP-containing composite and two times smaller average particle size were revealed by the SEM analysis for the SEBS particles compared to the SBS ones. The higher affinity of SEBS for PP compared to that for SBS and the different morphological characteristics of the systems containing SEBS and SBS may explain the different effects of these impact modifiers on the mechanical properties of the composites. The composites developed in this work were designed as substitutes for the fully synthetic polymeric materials or metal components used in the manufacturing of automotive parts.</jats:p>
