Polylactic acid composites

PLA is one of the best-known biodegradable polymers, whose mechanical and thermal properties are comparable with those of commodity polymers. PLA is a promising polymer [Pg.153]

Clays modified with thermally stable ionic liquids [Pg.154]

Cationic montmorillonite clays can be modified by ion exchange with ionic liquids. Literature data on their modification by a variety of cations of different molecular weights, including those present in thermally stable phosphonium-based ionic liquids, are presented and compared with data from commercial organoclays. Examples of polyolefin nanocomposites containing IL-modified montmorillonite are also presented. It appears, overall, that the relatively low melt-processing temperatures of the polyolefin composites do not permit full demonstration of the beneficial effects of the thermally stable phosphonium ionic liquid intercalants versus commercial modifiers, which are more prone to thermal [Pg.155]

Daimler Chrysler has been increasing its research and development in flax-reinforced polyester composites for exterior applications for a number of years now [80]. Mercedes also used jute-based door panels in its E-class vehicles in 1996 [81]. Cotton fibres embedded in polyester matrix were used in the body of the East German Trabant car [82]. Some other applications are on Mercedes A and S class mamade from different bio-fibre-reinforced composites [83], Lotus manufactured Eco Elise bodyworks which contains hemp fibres, while sisal fibres are used for interior trimmings while the inner door panels for the BMW 7 Series contain 70% of sisal fibres. Plant fibre-reinforced polylactic acid composites with improved rigidity and reduced processing times have been applied in the Toyota Lexus HS250h hybrid vehicle recently. [Pg.694]
