나노입자크기의 케냐프섬유를 폴리프로필렌에 첨가하였을 시, 복합소재의 물성변화를 관찰하였다. 천연크기의 케냐프섬유를 나노입자크기의 케냐프섬유로 대체하였을 시, 그 복합소재의 인장강도, 휨강도, 충격강도, 열변형온도가 증가한 반면에, 용융지수, 연신율(%), 충격강도 등이 감소하였다. 이는 나노입자크기의 케냐프섬유가 폴리프로필렌과 접촉하는 표면적의 증가와 섬유표면에 존재하는 휘발성 추출물질 등의 불순물의 감소에 따른 것으로 판단된다.

나노케냐프 섬유가 포함된 셀룰로스 섬유를 알카리(NaOH)로 처리 후 PP 수지에 첨가하여 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 알카리를 섬유에 처리한 효과로는 M.I., 신장율, 충격강도가 증가하는 반면 인장강도, 휨모듈러스, 열변형온도가 처리하지 않은 섬유에 비해 감소하였다. 알카리를 나노섬유에 처리하였을 때 섬유표면의 불순물과 화학물질을 제거하여 섬유표면의 특성을 변화시켜서 나노섬유와 PP 수지간의 계면간 접착력을 감소시키고 PP의 특성을 변화시키는 것으로 보인다.

Environmentally friendly biocomposites were made using plant-based natural fibers, such as henequen and kenaf. The natural fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) and unsaturated polyester (UP) biocomposites were examined in terms of the reinforcing effect of natural fibers on thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Kenaf (KE) and henequen (HQ) fibers were treated with an electron beam (EB) of 10 and 200 kGy doses, respectively, or with a 5 wt% NaOH solution. Four types of biocomposites (KE/PP, HQ/PP, KE/UP and HQ/UP) were fabricated by compression molding and each biocomposite was characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. The kenaf fiber had the larger reinforcing effect on the dynamic mechanical properties of both PP and UP biocomposites than the henequen fiber. The highest storage modulus was obtained from the biocomposite with the combination of UP matrix and 200 kGy EB treated kenaf fibers.

The bleached red algae fiber(BRAF) showed very similar crystallinity to the cellulose, furthermore, it has higher thermal decomposition temperature than that of the microcrystalline cellulose(MCC). Polypropylene biocomposites reinforced with BRAF have been fabricated with various BRAF contents by compression molding method and their mechanical and thermomechanical properties have been studied. The mechanical strength as tensile, impact and flexural modulus of BRAF/PP biocomposites were gradually improved with increasing the BRAF content, and thermal property which against the thermal expansion was markdly improved, especially. These results are compared with chopped non-woody fibers as Henequen or Kenaf, BRAF was more effective for fabrication of biocomposites reinforced small-sized fibers. The red algae fiber reinforced biocomposites has the applicability such as electronics, biodegradable products and small-structure composites.
