Effect of Surface Treatment on the Mechanical Performance of PPTA-Pulp Reinforced Rubber Composites in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid

Abstract:

A facile surface modification method for PPTA-pulp was developed to improve the adhesion to rubber matrix. Tensile strength tests and SEM were used to evaluate the adhesion of PPTA-pulp with rubber matrix, and the results indicated that surface treatment of PPTA pulp in supercritical carbon dioxide fluid was an efficient method to increase interfacial adhesion between PPTA-pulp and rubber matrix. Attenuated Toyal reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to investigate the surface structure and composition of untreated and treated PPTA-pulp in supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. The results indicated that the interaction of macromolecules, the crystal structure and the surface composition of PPTA-pulp changed during supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, particularly for the surface morphology and composition.
