Abstract

Biocomposites based on polypropylene (PP) and typha fibre were prepared using a twin-screw extruder and different characterisation techniques, namely thermal, mechanical, rheological and morphological analysis, to evaluate the effects of typha stem powder on the final properties of the biomaterials. The rheological characterisation showed that the G' and G" values of pure PP and biocomposites increase with the rate of reinforcement and are related to agglomeration phenomena of Typha fibres which reduce the sliding or flow between them inside the biocomposite. The viscosity of the composites is strongly influenced by the shear rate. Shear thinning behaviour of the melt was observed. The results of the mechanical tests show an increase in tensile young's modulus up to 45% and an increase in tensile strength up to a critical value of 25% for typha stems, which can be attributed to the good interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the filler. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicate the presence of crystalline phases and a slight difference of about 3°C between the melting temperatures. Typha acts as a nucleating agent. Micrographs show the diffuse aspect of the fibre distribution in the matrix. The good wettability of typha fibres by polypropylene contributes to the reduction of microcavities, which has a positive effect on the mechanical properties up to a certain level of reinforcement. Finally, the thermogravimetric analysis shows that typha fibre decreases the thermal stability of the biomaterials.
