Comparative Study on the Composites with Chopped Different Parts of Rice Straw as Raw Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The upper part and lower part of rice straw were respectively used as raw materials to prepare composites with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by hot-pressing at 140°C for 10 min. The performance differences of two kinds of composites were studied. Results showed that composites prepared with upper-part rice straw had higher tensile strength, strength at tensile break and hardness than that with lower-part rice straw. But the tensile elongation of composite prepared with upper-part rice straw was lower than that with upper-part rice straw. Difference ratio of tensile strength is higher than 6% and difference ratio of tensile elongation is higher than 16%. These differences were related to morphology and structure of upper-part rice straw and lower-part rice straw. Two parts of rice straw are both hollow, but upper-part rice straw has thinner holes. So the defect ratio of composite prepared with upper-part rice straw was low.
