Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-performance polypropylene technology, specifically to bamboo fiber modified and reinforced polypropylene composite materials and their preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] Polypropylene, as one of the five major general-purpose plastics, boasts advantages such as low density, good chemical resistance, easy processing and molding, and low cost, making it widely used in the automotive industry, electronics, building materials, and daily consumer goods. However, pure polypropylene also has significant performance limitations. Its antistatic properties are poor, and it easily accumulates static charge due to friction during use, which not only attracts dust and affects the appearance of products but may also cause electrostatic discharge. Furthermore, its mechanical strength needs improvement under certain operating conditions. In addition, polypropylene is a flammable material, which limits its application in fields requiring high flame retardancy, such as electronic appliance housings, automotive interior parts, and building materials. Therefore, developing a method to improve the mechanical strength, antistatic properties, and flame retardancy of polypropylene materials has significant application value and practical importance.

[0012] (iii) Beneficial technical effects This invention provides a bamboo fiber-modified reinforced polypropylene composite material.

This significantly enhances interfacial bonding, effectively suppresses bamboo fiber agglomeration and stress concentration, and results in a stable improvement in the composite material's mechanical strength. The modified bamboo fiber, through carboxylation, zinc ion complexation, and flame-retardant loading, establishes a stable conductive pathway, endowing the composite material with excellent antistatic properties. Simultaneously, it effectively inhibits the migration and loss of flame-retardant components, significantly improving the limiting oxygen index of the composite material.
