Problems solved by technology

[0005] In China, Sun Yat-sen University, National University of Defense Technology and other institutions have also carried out research on the compounding of natural plant fiber, unsaturated resin and polyurethane. Although some breakthroughs have been made in the mechanical properties and heat resistance of materials, the biggest disadvantage is It cannot be completely degraded
Kobe Steel Co., Ltd.’s patent 01109452.4 in 2001 mentioned that natural fibers were used as reinforcing fibers, and fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin sheets were prepared by dipping extrusion method. The disadvantage of this method is that the degree of bonding between fibers and resins is not good, so that affect the properties of the composite

Abstract

The present invention belongs to the macromolecular material technical field and concretely relates to natural fibre enhanced polylactic acid composite material and a preparation method thereof. The composite material consists of graft modified polylactic acid and the natural fibre. A concrete preparation step is that a polylactic acid matrix is processed for the graft modification, so as to improve the interface combined degree of the natural fibre and the polylactic acid matrix. Firstly, the polylactic acid is processed for the graft reaction with maleic anhydride under the action of an initiator to prepare the graft modified polylactic acid matrix; then the modified polylactic acid and the natural fibre are compounded to obtain biological full-degraded natural fibre enhanced polylactic acid composite material. Compared with pure polylactic acid, the mechanical performance and the thermal performance of the composite material are all improved, and the composite material can be used for preparing the project plastic with rigorous condition requirement. The composite material of the present invention can be degraded completely in the natural environment after being used and wasted and belongs to environmental friendly material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular relates to a natural fiber reinforced polylactic acid composite material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the application of biodegradable polymer materials in biomedicine and environment is becoming more and more important. Among them, polylactic acid (PLA) has become the most widely used biodegradable polymer material due to its degradability, good biocompatibility, good mechanical properties and molding processability. Polylactic acid plastics, fibers or films are used in industry, agriculture and daily life, which can solve the problem of "white pollution" and meet the requirements of environmental protection. However, PLA is hard, has poor toughness, lacks flexibility and elasticity, and is easily bent and deformed; the degree of crystallinity is high, and the degradation rate is not easy to control. It does not contain ...
