Abstract:
The new wood-plastic nanocomposites (WPC) based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin was successfully blended with ABS and poplar flour (PF) through a HAAKE rheomix. The mechanical properties of nanocomposites, except for flexural modulus, were reduced after increasing the PF content. SEM photos show the reduction resulting from weak interfacial adhesion between the PF phase and ABS phase. Higher PF content leads to a low thermal stability and a high water absorption ratio. Different coupling agents (CA) were employed to improve the compatibility between PF and ABS. The results suggest that ABS-g-MAH is more effective than POE-g-MAH, EVA and SEBS. Maleic anhydride (MA) was blended in situ with PF and ABS as the reactive compatibilizer and mechanical properties of nanocomposites were improved except impact strength.
