Abstract
Disclosed is an eco-friendly incombustible biocomposite including: a) a polymer matrix comprising a natural fiber; and b) a ceramic sheet laminated integrally with the polymer matrix. The biocomposite is eco-friendly since the natural fiber is used as a reinforcement material and is incombustible since it is laminated integrally with the ceramic sheet. Further, it has superior storage modulus, dimensional stability and flexural properties and lightweightness, and is processable into various structures. Thus, it is very useful for automotive or building indoor/outdoor materials.
Claims18
An eco-friendly incombustible biocomposite comprising:
- a polymer matrix comprising a natural fiber;
- and
- a ceramic sheet laminated integrally with the polymer matrix,
- wherein the content of the natural fiber is 1 to 70 wt %, the content of the polymer is 1 to 98%, and the content of the ceramic sheet is 1 to 30 wt %.
A method for preparing an eco-friendly incombustible biocomposite, comprising:
- dispersing cut natural fiber and polymer powder on a ceramic sheet;
- heating the ceramic sheet with the natural fiber and the polymer powder dispersed to melt the polymer powder and then performing compression molding by heating;
- and
- cooling the compression molded sheet.
