Development of biodegradable cellulose-g
-poly(butyl acrylate)/kaolin nanocomposite with improved fire retardancy and mechanical properties

Well-controlled polystyrene-b-poly (n-butyl acrylate)-b-polystyrene (PSt-b-PnBA-b-PSt) triblock copolymers were prepared by RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer) emulsion polymerization process. The mechanical properties of the triblock copolymers were investigated in comparison to the P(nBA-co-St) statistical copolymers. When the PSt content is 20%, the ultimate tensile strength of triblock copolymer is nearly six times the strength of statistical copolymer, while their modulus are all around 3.0×103 Pa. The triblock copolymer films feel smooth and non-tacky as the PSt content is higher than 20%. It indicates that PSt-b-PnBA-b-PSt triblock copolymers can be used as binders in pigment dyeing, providing the dyed fabrics with soft non-tacky handle and good fastness properties.

Biodegradable Composites

The modified rice straw fibers (MRSF) were prepared by suspension polymerization technique of butyl acrylate (BA) monomer and rice straw fibers (RSF) in water solution. FTIR test indicated that PBA was coated and absorbed on RSF.The biodegradable composites were prepared with the MRSF and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by HAAKE rheometer. Mechanical properties showed that the tensile strength of PLA/MRSF composites were (W (%) =7.98%) increased by 6 MPa compared with blank sample. The possible reason was that the good interfacial adhesion between PLA and MRSF, which was demonstrated by SEM.

Application Characteristics

Based on the consequences of abundant relevant literatures, this essay expounded the latest mechanical properties research results of the concrete reinforced with CBF and its application on building structure reinforcement studied by the domestic and foreign scholars. Research suggests that the new composite material of concrete reinforced with CBF has many excellent engineering application characteristics such as good crack resistance, durability, permeability resistance, high temperature resistance and fire retardancy. CBF is a kind of good reinforcement materials with so many advantages including simple construction, favorable reinforcement effect and low cost. We can infer that CBF can be widely used in underground engineering port, deep-water wharf, cross-sea bridges and tunnels, cold region and other fields based on the good mechanical properties and durability of the concrete reinforced with CBF in the future.
