Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of composite materials having lignocellulosic fibres dispersed in a thermoplastic matrix, while generally maintaining an average fibre length not below 0.2 mm. The process comprises defibrillation of the lignocellulosic fibres using a mixer and at a temperature less than the decomposition temperature of the fibres in order to separate the fibres and generate microfibres, followed by dispersion of the fibres in the thermoplastic matrix by mechanical mixing to get the moldable thermoplastic composition, followed by injection, compression, extrusion or compression injection molding of said composition. The process produces high performance composite materials having a tensile strength not less than about 55 MPa, a flexural strength not less than about 80 MPa, a stiffness not less than about 2 GPa, notched impact strength not less than about 20 J / m, and un-notched impact strength not less than about 100 J / m. The composite materials of the present invention are well-suited for use in automotive, aerospace, electronic, furniture, sports articles, upholstery and other structural applications.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention generally relates to lignocellulosic fiber / thermoplastic composites. The present invention more particularly relates to methods of producing lignocellulosic fiber / thermoplastic compositions with improved material characteristics. Background of the invention [0002] Lignocellulosic fiber composites are widely used in a broad spectrum of structural and non-structural applications, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, architectural and structural, furniture, sporting goods, and the like. This is due to the advantages offered by natural fibers over conventional inorganic fillers, including: [0003] - Vegetable fibers have a relatively low density compared to inorganic fillers; [0004] - plant fibers lead to reduced wear on processing equipment; [0005] - Plant fibers have health and environment-related advantages; [0006] - plant fibers are renewable resources and their availability is largely unlimited; [0007]...
