This study investigates the effects of functional groups on the mechanical properties of composites by examining chemically modified microcrystalline methyl cellulose. It is found that high substitution levels of hydroxypropyl group can improve the mechanical properties and density of the composites.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a promising bio-based filler for lightweight yet mechanically high-performance eco-polymer composites because of its low density and high biocompatibility. However, intermolecular hydrogen bonding among MCC is stronger than the polymer-filler interactions, which deteriorate the mechanical properties of the composites. Herein, we investigated the effects of functional groups on the mechanical properties of composites by scrutinizing chemically modified microcrystalline methyl cellulose (m-MMC) with three different substitution levels of hydroxyl group to hydroxypropyl (HP) group: no-, low-, and high-level substitution (HP-0, HP-low, and HP-high). The degree of HP substitution of m-MMC was quantitatively measured by CP/MAS NMR analysis. The relatively bulky HP groups interrupted the filler-filler intermolecular interactions and reduced the crystallinity and density of m-MMC, as evident from X-ray diffractometer and pycnometer data, respectively. For scalable production of the composites, the m-MMC were compounded with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) by a twin-screw extruder
