Effect of Modification and Hydrothermal Ageing on Properties of 3D-Printed Wood Flour–Poly(butylene succinate)–Poly(lactic acid) Biocomposites
Wood flour–poly(butylene succinate)–poly(lactic acid) biocomposite samples were prepared by fused-deposition-molding 3D-printing technology, and modifications with glycerol and a silane coupling agent (KH550) were carried out. The samples were then hydrothermally aged. Modification with glycerol and...

description | Wood flour–poly(butylene succinate)–poly(lactic acid) biocomposite samples were prepared by fused-deposition-molding 3D-printing technology, and modifications with glycerol and a silane coupling agent (KH550) were carried out. The samples were then hydrothermally aged. Modification with glycerol and KH550 enhanced the hydrophilicity of the samples and increased their tensile strength. Hydrothermal aging clearly whitened the surfaces of all the samples and made them more hydrophobic. Meanwhile, their tensile properties and thermal stability became poor; a higher hydrothermal aging temperature affected the mechanical properties more negatively. The modified samples turned out to be more resistant to the hydrothermal aging, and modification with KH550 could improve the anti-hydrothermal aging properties of the samples better than that with glycerol, where the tensile properties and the cross-sectional morphologies of the fractured specimens were concerned. Generally, the effects of hydrothermal aging temperature on the physico-mechanical properties of the printed specimens were greater than those by hydrothermal aging time. |
