1 BIOCOMPOSITES BASED ON REGENERATED CELLULOSE FIBER AND BIO-MATRIX Sunil Kumar Ramamoorthy, Chanchal Kundu, Kayode Adekunle, Mikael Skrifvars School of Engineering, University of Boras, Sweden Abstract Wood pulp based regenerated cellulose fibers like Lyocell and viscose which are from natural origin have high and even quality; used to develop superior composites with good properties. In this project, Lyocell and viscose fibers were reinforced in chemically modified soybean based bio-matrix, acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) by compression molding technique. The composites are characterized for mechanical performance by tensile, flexural and impact tests, viscoelastic performance by dynamical mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In general, Lyocell composites had better tensile and flexural properties than viscose based composites. The same goes with elastic and viscous response of the composites. Hybrid composites were formed by fiber blending; on addition of Lyocell to viscose based composites improved the properties. The amount of Lyocell and viscose fibers used determined the properties of hybrid composites and the possibility of tailoring properties for specific application was seen. Hybrid composites showed better impact strength. Morphological analysis showed that the viscose composites had small fiber pull out whereas Lyocell composites had few pores. Hybrid composite analysis showed that they had uneven spreading of matrix; delamination occurred on constant heating and cooling. To overcome the above mentioned issue and to reduce the water absorption, surface modification of the fiber was done by alkali treatment and silane treatment. The effect of treatment is done through swelling, water absorption and morphological analysis tests. The properties could be increased on proper modification of the fibers. The results show the good potential of these composites to be used in automotives and construction industries. Background and Requirements Researchers developed several biocomposites from natural fibers which are used in automotives and construction. The potential of these composites is high and the possibility of replacing synthetic fibers is more. The main drawbacks of the natural fibers being used in composites are hydrophilic nature and quality variation which is due to plant maturity, place dependent, harvesting method etc. Few industries like automotives need smell-free products and this adds to disadvantages of the natural fiber reinforced composites. Several authors have addressed the problems associated with water absorption by chemical modification of the surface of the fiber. But the quality variation is difficult to control as various factors come into consideration. Page 1
2 Wood pulp based regenerated cellulose fibers like Lyocell and viscose which are from natural origin have high and even quality; used to develop superior composites with better properties.2,3 These types of composites are not explored as much as natural fiber composites. Some researchers have been trying to explore the possibilities of using these fibers as reinforcements in structural composites. As the fibers come from natural origin; it would be beneficial for the environment. Green composites could be formed when these fibers are reinforced in bio-matrix. However the processes of producing these regenerated fibers are not completely environmentally friendly. Ongoing research activities to produce these fibers in environmentally friendly way have many challenges. It is necessary to have closed loop cycle and minimize the toxic chemicals.4,5 The same should be done with bio-matrix as small amounts of synthetic materials are used in producing these resins. The amount of work done on natural fibers composites is enormous and these fibers are the most environmentally friendly reinforcements. On considering that these fibers are not produced globally and limited to certain parts; an alternative is required to avoid transportation and import of these fibers. One of the main challenges in natural fiber composites is that these fibers give irregular results due to unevenness of the fibers. Materials and Methods Two types of regenerated cellulose fibers such as Lyocell and viscose were used as reinforcements. Lyocell fibers were supplied by Lenzing AG, Austria and it has specific gravity 1.5 gm/cm 3, linear density 1.7 dtex, average fiber length of 38 mm and diameter of 13.4 µm. Non-woven Lyocell mats were formed by carding and needling as reported by Adekunle 1 with a surface weight of 525 g/m 2. The viscose fiber non-woven mats were supplied by Suominen Nonwovens Ltd, Finland, and they had a surface weight of 60 gm/m 2 and a sheet thickness of 0.66 mm. Bio-based thermoset resin AESO (Acrylated Epoxidized Soybean Oil) derived from soybean oil was used as matrix, it is commercially available as Tribest S EXP supplied by Cognis GmbH, Germany. The cross linking initiator (tertiary-butyl peroxy benzoate) was supplied by Aldrich Chemical Company, Wyoming, IL, USA. Sodium hydroxide pellets, 3- aminopropyl-triethoxysilane and absolute ethanol were supplied by sigma aldrich. Alkali Treatment Fiber Treatments Regenerated cellulose fibers were pre-dried at 105 C for 2h before immersing in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution with three different concentration, 4wt%, 5 wt% and 6 wt% and stirred continuously at 25 C. The fibers were treated for 24h, 48h and 72h. After the treatment, fibers were washed thoroughly with distilled water for neutrality. The ph is checked periodically using litmus paper. Then the fibers were dried in room temperature for 4h followed by oven drying for 3h at 105 C. The similar treatment was done at 50 C. Page 2
3 Silane Treatment APTES (3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane) was used as silane coupling agent to treat the regenerated cellulose fibers. APTES was added to ethanol-water mixture (8/2 volume ratio) to make three different concentration, 2wt%, 4wt% and 6wt%. Pre-dried regenerated cellulose fibers (105 C, 2h) were immersed in three different concentration solutions and stirred continuously at 25 C. The treatment was done for three time intervals, 24h, 48h and 72h. Fibers were washed thoroughly with distilled water after treatment and ph is checked for neutrality. Then the fibers were dried in room temperature for 4h followed by oven drying for 3h at 105 C. The similar treatment was done at 50 C. Composite Preparation Acrylated epoxidized soybean oil was used as a matrix to make composites. Viscosity of resin is the main factor influencing fiber impregnation. The viscosity of AESO was reduced by heating in oven at 60 C for 5 minutes. AESO was then blended with initiator for high temperature curing. Tert-butyl peroxybenzoate was used as a free radical initiator (2 wt %) and was mixed well with AESO to give a homogeneous solution. The treated and untreated fiber mats were cut to 20cm 20cm dimension. The fibers were impregnated with the blended resin and the fiber-resin ratio was taken as weight fraction. Composites were made with different weight fraction of regenerated cellulose fiber by compression molding. This method was adopted to fabricate the composites. Curing was done with heat and pressure for 5 min. Pressure (40 bar) was used to make composites and at a temperature between 160 o C to 170 o C on hot press from Rondol Technology, Staffordshire, UK. Specimens were cut according to ISO standard by using laser cutting technology (GCC LaserPro Spirit). Characterization Mechanical performance is characterized by tensile, flexural and impact tests. Dynamic mechanical analysis was done see the viscoelastic properties. Water absorption test was done to see the hydrophilic nature of the composites. SEM images were made to see analyze the morphological properties. Tensile Test The tensile test was carried out based on ISO 527 using universal Tinius Olsen H10KT testing machine and QMat software. The rate of loading was 10 mm/min and the load range was 5 kn and 10 kn. Atleast 10 specimens were analyzed for each sample. The dumb-bell shaped specimens were cut from the laminates with laser cutting machine with overall length of 150 mm which includes parallel-sided portion (60 mm). The widths at ends and at parallel-side are 20 mm and 10 mm respectively. Gauge length was 50 mm and initial distance between grips was 115 mm. Page 3
4 Flexural Test The three point flexural test was adopted to determine the flexural stress (σ f ) and flexural modulus (E f ). The tests were performed based on ISO standard using a Tinius Olsen H10K-T UTM (universal testing machine). At least 5 specimens were tested for every sample. The specimen dimension was 80 15mm (length width) while the thickness varied depending on the sample. The load range was 5 kn and 10 kn and the rate of loading was 10 mm/min. The outer span was 64 mm and the displacement range was 10 mm. Impact Test This test is performed based on ISO 179 to obtain the charpy impact strength of un-notched specimens. Atleast 10 specimens were tested for each sample using Zwick test instrument, and mean impact resistance was determined. The specimens were tested flatwise. Charpy impact strength = [energy absorbed/cross-sectional area] Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) was done to determine the viscoelastic properties of the composites with Q series TA instrument supplied by Waters LLC, Newcastle, DE, USA. Dual cantilever clamp was used to mount the specimens. The specimen s dimension was mm 3 and the temperature ranges from 30 C to 150 C at frequency 1 Hz. Water Absorption Test Water absorption test was carried out on the samples to determine the dimensional stability of the composites. Four specimens were examined for each sample and the average was taken. The specimen dimension was approximately mm. The specimens were dried in an oven for 24 hr at 60 o C. Then the specimens were kept in desiccators in order to cool down to room temperature and the weights of these specimens were denoted as W o. Then specimens were immersed in distilled water at room temperature. The amount of water absorbed was measured every 24 hours for 10 days. The specimen was taken out of the water each time, and the surface wiped dry and weight recorded as W. The percentage water absorption (WA %) was then calculated using the formula below. Scanning Electron Microscopy WA% = [(W-W o )/W o ] 100 Morphological analysis was done by studying the cross section of the fractured specimens by environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), FEI Quanta 200 F. The equipment was run at low vacuum and high voltage (5-10 Kv). This is done to see the fiber-matrix interface and pores. Page 4
5 Swelling Treated fibers were subjected to swelling measurement. Swelling of the fibers were noticed by measuring the diameter of the fibers through microscope. Fibers were treated for 30 minutes before measuring the diameter. Several measurements were made and mean was taken. Weight Loss Weight loss was checked for fibers treated for 30 minutes, 12 hours and 24 hours. Dried fibers were weighed and noted. Then fibers were treated to respective time and dried before checking the weight loss. Tensile Test Results and Discussion Table 1 shows that the tensile strength of Lyocell fiber reinforced composites was higher than the viscose fiber reinforced composites and the hybrid composites, which indicated that the Lyocell reinforced composite was the toughest and strongest. Composite consisting 60 wt% Lyocell fiber had tensile strength of 135 Mpa. Whereas for the same fiber content, the tensile strength was approximately 96 MPa and 117 MPa in the viscose fiber reinforced composite and hybrid composite respectively. This is because Lyocell fiber on its own has higher tensile strength (750 MPa) compared to viscose fiber (310 Mpa). The general trend of an improvement of tensile strength of all composites was associated on increasing Lyocell fiber. For Lyocell fiber reinforced composite, the tensile strength increased from 113 MPa to 135 MPa with 20% fiber increase and the same trend was observed for viscose fiber reinforced and hybrid composite. The uniformity in the results could be due to the consistency in impregnation, curing condition, sheets alignment (all fiber sheets were aligned in 0 0 ). The tensile moduli of the Lyocell and viscose fiber composites increased with an increase in fiber content from 40 wt% to 50 wt%, but surprisingly there was no increment in the modulus when the fiber content was increased from 50 wt% to 60 wt% in the hybrid composite. An interesting trend was observed in the hybrid composite when 20 wt% of Lyocell was hybridized with 30 wt% viscose fiber because the tensile modulus increased, whereas the tensile strength was lower in the hybrid composite with 25 wt% Lyocell and 25 wt% viscose. The percentage elongation was quite good for viscose fiber reinforced composites which was approximately 2.5 %. This was expected due to the higher percentage elongation of viscose. For Lyocell fiber reinforced composites, it was less than 2% irrespective of fiber content. It was expected, due to the morphology of regenerated cellulose fiber. For the hybrid composites, the values were more or less in between 2 to 2, 5 % for all compositions. Page 5

Composite consisting 60 wt% fiber content (30 wt% Lyocell & 30 wt% viscose), the flexural strength was approximately 140 Mpa; whereas the flexural strength was 127 MPa and 92 MPa for Lyocell and viscose fiber reinforced composites respectively with same fiber content (Table 2). So, the effect of hybridization was quite significant in case of flexural strength of composites. For the viscose fiber reinforced composite, the flexural strength followed a downward trend with the increase of fiber content; it reduced from 101 MPa to 92 MPa for 20 wt% fiber increase. But for other cases, there was noticeable increase in flexural strength with fiber content increase. The Lyocell-reinforced composite had the highest flexural modulus of about 7 GPa for 60 wt% fiber content. Hybridized composite and viscose fiber reinforced composite had flexural modulus of 6 GPa and 5 GPa respectively for the same fiber content. However the effect of hybridization was negligible, increasing the viscose fiber content did not have effect on the flexural modulus of the composite. Page 6

The Lyocell fiber composites showed impact resistance between 40 and 50 kj/m 2. Viscose and the hybrid composites have impact resistance between 45 and 50 kj/m 2. It was noticed that the increase in fiber content imparted higher impact resistance in composites materials. It resulted in longer average fiber pull-out lengths, and therefore caused higher impact strength. In contrast, higher fiber-matrix adhesion results in shorter average pull-out lengths and make the material brittle and that ultimately induce lower impact resistance in the material. However these results are expected because natural fibers are quite different from regenerated cellulose fibers due to their morphology. In previous studies the impact behavior of regenerated cellulose fiber reinforced composites is quite different from natural fiber reinforced composites. Page 7

Similar trend was observed for viscose fiber reinforced composites and the hybrid composites. The hybrid composites seemed to have the least storage modulus which could be due to delamination during constant heating and deformation for about 1 hour in the equipment and the possibility of mismatch in the hybrid composite structure. In this case, Lyocell fiber and viscose fiber were combined, so a micro-structural analysis of a transverse section of the specimen could give a better explanation. Page 8

Loss modulus of Lyocell fiber composites were superior and was between 200 to 250 MPa for different fiber content. So, from that perspective the Lyocell fiber composites exhibit the best viscoelastic properties compared to others. For viscose fiber reinforced composites, the loss modulus was nearly 200 Mpa. The T g values were measured from the tanδ curve and it was in between 80 0 C to 85 0 C for Lyocell and viscose fiber reinforced composites. But it was a bit higher in hybrid composites with 50 wt% and 60 wt% fiber content. Though the value of T g will vary depending on which parameter used to detect the transition. It also depends on the experimental parameters such as frequency of oscillation, temperature ramp rate and sample dimensions and it is expected that T g should be measured on a material which is not under mechanical stress. The structural or material damping of a composite material could be analyzed using DMTA. Tanδ is the ratio of the loss modulus (E") to storage modulus (E') or it could be defined as the ratio of the energy lost to the energy retained during a loading cycle. And the values of tanδ were measured at 35 0 C in this study. The most significant result was obtained from the hybrid composites with a tanδ of approximately This result indicates that the hybridization has optimized the good structural damping properties in the composite materials and that could be considered for automotive application.

10 Scanning Electron Microscope Alkali and silane treatments made the surface of fiber rougher. At higher concentration or longer treatment exposure, treatment had adverse affects due to fibrillation. Fibrillation occurred also at increased treatment temperature. Figure 1: Untreated Fiber Figure 2: Alkali-treated Figure 3: Fibrillated Fiber(at higher Concentration Figure 4: Fibrillated Fiber(at longer time) Figure 5: Dispersed Fiber in Composite Page 10
11 Figure 1 shows the SEM image of untreated fiber which has smoother surface than alkali treated fiber, figure 2. Rougher surface in figure 2 helps in improving the properties. Optimizing the treatment temperature, time and concentration is important as higher treatment conditions gives adverse effects like fibrillation. Figure 3 and 4 shows the fibrillation in fibers which has extreme treatment conditions. Figure 5 shows the dispersion of fibers in matrix. Figure 6b shows the pores in composites and this could affect the properties of the composites. This should be addressed to have better composites. Uneven spreading of matrix was seen in hybrid composites which could be due to hybrid structure. Figure 6.

12 Swelling Swelling increased on increasing the concentration of treatments and reaches highest swelling at 13 wt% concentration. This is seen in both alkali and silane treatments, 51.8% and 9.4% were corresponding swelling %. This is quite similar with natural fibers as alkali treatment gives higher swelling. Table 5: Swelling and Weight Loss % of the Composites Weight Loss Weight loss is seen after treatment of fibers on different treatment concentration for different treatment time at room temperature. Highest weight loss was noticed at 10 wt% for alkali and silane treatments, table 5. Summary and Next Step Composites made out of regenerated cellulose fibers had good properties. Treatments improved the surface roughness. Swelling and weight loss was noticed on various treatment concentrations. It was noticed that treatment time, temperature and concentration affects the fiber. It is necessary to improve the properties by reducing the pores and have optimized treatments. It is also required to look into hybrid structure to have better properties. References 1. Adekunle KF. Bio-based Composites from Soybean Oil Thermosets and Natural Fibers.
