Study on Properties of Cottonseed Protein Plastics

Abstract:

With a view to research cottonseed protein in application of material field, cottonseed protein was used with glutaraldehyde to take place a crosslinking reaction, montmorillnite in nanometer level was also added to the reaction system, to manufacture a kind of cottonseed protein plastic with high mechanical properties and low water absorption. Influences of molding temperature, content of glutaraldehyde and montmorillnite to mechanical properties and water absorption were studied. Plastic samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and SEM surface topography. When the mass content of glutaraldehyde and montmorillnite to cottonseed protein is 30%, 6% respectively, the tensile strength and water absorption of cottonseed protein plastic is 19.1MPa, 27.8% respectively.
