Abstract
This study focuses on the thermo mechanical and rheological behaviour of starch biocomposites formulated by elongational mixer and reactor (RMX). Compared to existing laboratory mixers, RMX device process is characterized by a high contribution of elongational flow and the ability to directly measure the rheological properties of blends. The idea is to promote the elongational flow during mixing of different components and increase the dispersive mixing efficiency. Using RMX, various formulations based on plasticized starch matrix (TPS) have been carried out by varying plasticizer amount, flax fibres content and flax fibers length. After RMX-thermocompression moulding, the impact of process parameters (temperature, speed screw, mixing cycle number) on the viscosity of plasticized starch blends are investigated. Furthermore, morphological and microscopic data on TPS/flax blends prove the high distributive and dispersive mixing efficiency as compared to a classical rotational batch mixer. The evolution of microstructural properties of the starch based biocomposites are also analyzed by X-ray diffraction (DRX), thermo mechanical (DMA) and thermal degradation (TGA) analysis.Biography
