Abstract
A method for manufacturing a molded article includes the step of pressing a pre-molding material that is prepared by dispersing a polylactic acid-base aliphatic polyester and a compatible copolymer into kenaf fibers. The compatible copolymer contains a first polymerizable monomer and a second polymerizable monomer. The pressing step is performed at a temperature that permit the polylactic acid-base aliphatic polyester to be changed to a softened state or a molten state. The first polymerizable monomer has a polymerizable double bond part and a hydrophilic group. The second polymerizable monomer has a polymerizable double bond part and an epoxy group.
Claims6
A method for manufacturing a molded woody article comprising the step of:
- pressing a pre-molding material that is prepared by dispersing a polylactic acid-base aliphatic polyester and a compatible copolymer into kenaf fibers, the compatible copolymer containing a first polymerizable monomer and a second polymerizable monomer as raw materials, wherein the pressing step is performed at a temperature that permit the polylactic acid-base aliphatic polyester to be changed to a softened state or a molten state,
- wherein the first polymerizable monomer has a polymerizable double bond part and a hydrophilic group, and
- wherein the second polymerizable monomer has a polymerizable double bond part and an epoxy group.
