Abstract
Lignin has derived from black liquor or wood, and it shows a lack of thermal stability, which restricts its direct use in industrial applicaion. Synthesized lignin polyester (LigPS) from lignin can be melt-processable and matrix of composites. We investigated the jute-fiber/polypropylene (PP) composite system by incorporating LigPS and montmorillonite (MMT) nanoplatelets through extrusion and injection molding processes. The modulus of PP/jute/LigPS composite was increased due to its compatibilizing effect in the PP-jute interface. Also the water resistance was increased, when LigPS was incorporated into PP/jute composites in 5 wt%. While the montmorillonite nanoclay was added and exfoliated in the PP/jute composites by 5 wt%, the modulus was substantially increased by 50%. As a novel green composite system, the LigPS and MMT nanoplatelets demonstrated that the compatibility, the water resistance and the mechanical performance of PP/jute composites could be desirably tailored for various eco-friendly composite applications.

제지폐기물 등 목재에서 유래한 리그닌은 비식량계 바이오매스이나 열안정성이 부족하여 사용이 제한적이었지만, 리그닌 폴리에스터(lignin polyester, LigPS)는 고온가공이 가능하도록 합성되어 복합재료 기지재로서 활용이 가능해 졌다. 황마섬유(jute fiber, JF)/폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP) 복합재료에 LigPS와 몬모릴로나이트(montmorillonite, MMT) 함량을 변화시키며 첨가하여 특성변화를 연구했다. LigPS는 복합재료에 20 wt%까지 첨가가 가능하였고 5%만 첨가하여도 인장강도와 탄성률이 증가였고, JF와 계면에서는 상용성을 보였고 수분흡수 실험에서는 내수성도 향상되었다. 또한 여기에 MMT는 5 wt% 투입했을 때 탄성률이 50% 증가하는 등 기계적 물성이 크게 증가였다. 이로부터 JF/PP 복합재료에 LigPS와 MMT로 복합화하여 바이오매스 함량을 증가시키면서 성능도 변화시켜 친환경 나노복합소재로의 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.
