Progress of science and technology should serve as it overcoming the problem of global environment immediately. The challenge from every field is accomplished to solve this important problem. In terms of material issues, high strength and environmentally friendly objects are required. So, we strongly focused on cellulose nanofibers(CNF).
CNF show extraordinary mechanical, physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, CNF is a biodegradable material with low environmental impact and excellent recyclability. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of micro plastics, which is a problem in global issues.
In addition, development of the advanced composite resin filaments with CNF for uses 3D printing leads to extend especially application field, due to excellent environmental problem and mechanical properties as one of core of current technology Industry revolution.
In this study, we try to development an innovative high strength resin based composite materials reinforced by CNF with characteristics of eco-friendly and material characteristics.
At first, we researched the possibility of the application of CNF composite materials with ABS base resin, in order to investigate possibility of fabrication of composite material with CNF and improvement of characteristics in comparison with conventional resin materials. The fabrication method with uniform dispensation of CNF in ABS resin powder was applied with the ultrasonic method established on our own. Specimen were made by the die molding method at 250K for 30minutes.
In our results, the optimum dispersion time was determined 6 hours by surface observation.
FT-IR measurement showed that CNF and ABS resin could be dispersed while maintaining its structure. We should remarkable results of representative mechanical property. Tensile strength and young's modulus for specimen excellently increased up to about 70 % for 1.0 wt% CNF and 97 % for 0.5 wt% CNF in comparison with the value of pure ABS resin specimen. Furthermore, strength improvement using nylon 6 was clarified as the same trend in the case of ABS resin.
These results described above should clarified the development important guidelines for fabrication process, of an innovative composite resin materials with enough specific characteristics of CNF.
Furthermore, in order to expand the possibility of practical realization, we are now challenging, to apply to biodegradable PLA resin.
