| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to develop the natural fiber reinforced biopolymer composites based on all plants-derived materials for new engineering materials having a performance comparable to engineering plastics. The materials used were hemp fiber reinforced plants-derived polyamide 1010 biomass composites. Plants-derived polyamide 1010, which was obtained from plants-derived castor oil, was used as the matrix polymer. The effect of the addition of plants-derived thermoplastic elastomer, the type of alkali treatment, the type of silane coupling agent, the type of surface treatment method, and the processing sequence in melt-mixing on the various physical properties of these biomass composites was investigated. It was found that the dispersion of hemp fiber and the interfacial adhesion between fiber and polymer are improved. It follows from these results that it may be possible to develop the new engineering materials with high-performance.
