| description | Environmental, global warming, renewability, recyclability, and biodegradability issues
have encouraged scientists and engineers to partially substitute petrochemical-based
polymers with green polymers such as natural fibre polymer composites. A major
drawback in the development of natural fiber polymer composites is the incompatibility
between the matrix and fibre processing temperature, given the high temperature of the
matrix based on petroleum and the low degradation temperature for natural fibre. The
creation of poly lactic acid as a “green matrix” provides an alternative and a solution for
the development of natural fiber polymer composites. In this work, the physical, thermal
and mechanical properties of PLA tapioca resin biopolymer derived from industrial
grade tapioca were reported in order to determine the optimum processing temperature.
A drying process, injection moulding and hot press process are involved in sample
preparation. A density test, hardness test, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential
scanning calorimetry have been conducted. Afterwards, a tensile test was performed
with samples at five different injection temperatures of 160°C, 165°C, 170°C, 175°C
and 180°C in order to determine the optimum processing temperature. The sample at
165°C shows the highest result of ultimate tensile strength with 14.904 MPa, and
320.564 MPa for the elastic modulus result. As a conclusion, 165°C was finalized as the
optimum processing temperature of PLA tapioca resin biopolymer for future application
in the research and development of natural fibre reinforced tapioca resin biopolymer
composite. |
