Superplasticizers

162
Superplasticizers are advanced admixtures that enhance the workability of concrete by lowering the water content without compromising the strength of the material. These substances are highly effective water reducers, improving concrete flow, making it easier to work with, and enabling concrete to reach inaccessible areas or densely reinforced sections without mechanical vibration. The key components in superplasticizers are either sulfonated melamine or naphthalene formaldehyde condensates,...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Sustainable Manufacturing

Background:

  • Growing environmental concerns drive demand for sustainable, high-performance materials in additive manufacturing (AM).
  • Cellulose, a renewable and abundant resource, offers potential as a base for eco-friendly composites.
  • Thermoplastic cellulose composites are being investigated for their applicability in advanced manufacturing techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the properties of thermoplastic cellulose-based composites.
  • To evaluate the suitability of these composites for injection molding and 3D printing using granules.
  • To maximize cellulose content while maintaining or improving material performance.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of cellulose-based composite compounds using cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) and plasticized cellulose acetate propionate (CP) as matrices.
  • Incorporation of microcellulose (mc), cellulose octanoate (C8), and cellulose palmitate (C16) as additives.
  • Evaluation of mechanical properties (tensile strength, impact strength, modulus) and thermal properties (glass transition temperature - Tg, heat distortion temperature - HDT).
  • Assessment of 3D printability using granular printing technology.

Main Results:

  • CP-based compounds exhibited tensile and Charpy impact strength comparable to a commercial poly(lactic acid)-based reference composite.
  • CP-compounds demonstrated a significant increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) by over 58% and heat distortion temperature (HDT) by 12% compared to the reference.
  • CAP with C16 additive achieved an HDT of 82.1 °C.
  • All prepared compounds were printable via granular printing, though CAP compounds faced challenges with printed layer adhesion.

Conclusions:

  • Thermoplastic cellulose-based composites show significant potential for tailoring material properties for specific applications.
  • CP-based compounds offer a viable sustainable alternative with competitive mechanical and enhanced thermal performance.
  • Further research is necessary to overcome challenges, such as layer adhesion in CAP compounds, to achieve high-performance, all-cellulose 3D printable materials.
