Palm‐based bio‐composites hybridized with kaolinite
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis study described the mechanical and thermal properties of hybrid bio‐composites from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers and kaolinite. The polyurethane (PU) used as matrix is formed by reacting palm kernel oil (PKO)‐based polyester with crude isocyanate. The blending ratio of PU to EFB fibers was fixed at 35 : 65 and kaolinite was added at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% (by weight). The occurrence of chemical interactions between the hydroxyl terminals in both fillers and the PU system was determined via FTIR spectroscopy. Hybrid bio‐composites showed improved stiffness, strength, and better water resistance with the addition of kaolinite to an extent. At 15% of kaolinite loading, maximum flexural and impact strengths were observed. The interaction between kaolinite with PU matrix and EFB fibers enhanced the mechanical properties of the bio‐composites, which was justified from the FTIR spectrum. However, over‐packing of kaolinite was observed at 20% kaolinite loading, which ruptured the cellular walls and degraded strength of the bio‐composites. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
