چکیده
این تحقیق با هدف بررسی تأثیر نانوسیلیس بر خواص مکانیکی و حرارتی چندسازه حاصل از آرد چوب کاج و پلی‌پروپیلن ضایعاتی انجام شد. برای این منظور، ترکیبی از پلی‌پروپیلن (در سطح ثابت 50 درصد) و آرد چوب کاج (در سطح ثابت 50 درصد) به همراه نانوسیلیس در چهار سطح (0، 3، 6 و 9 درصد) و انیدرید مالئیک پیوند داده‌شده با پلی‌پروپیلن (در سطح ثابت 3 درصد) به‌وسیله اکسترودر دو ماردونی مخلوط شدند. نمونه‌های آزمایشی استاندارد با استفاده از روش قالب‌گیری تزریقی تهیه گردید. خواص مکانیکی شامل مقاومت کششی و خمشی، مدول کششی و خمشی و مقاومت به ضربه فاق‌دار و همچنین خواص حرارتی و آتش‌گیری نمونه‌ها اندازه‌گیری و ارزیابی شدند. نتایج نشان داد که با افزایش نانوسیلیس تا سطح 9 درصد، مقاومت و مدول کششی به ترتیب 98/12 و 16/5 درصد کاهش یافت. همچنین، مقاومت و مدول خمشی و مقاومت به ضربه فاق‌دار نیز به ترتیب 1/6، 02/5 و 92/10 درصد کاهش نشان دادند. علاوه بر این، با افزایش نانوسیلیس تا سطح 9 درصد، شاخص اکسیژن محدود 4/12 درصد افزایش یافت که نشان‌دهنده بهبود مقاومت حرارتی است. همچنین، میزان خاکستر باقیمانده و ثبات حرارتی نیز با افزایش میزان نانوسیلیس افزایش یافت. این نتایج حاکی از تأثیر مثبت نانوسیلیس بر ویژگی‌های حرارتی و مکانیکی چندسازه‌های ساخته‌شده از آرد چوب کاج و پلی‌پروپیلن ضایعاتی است و می‌تواند به بهبود عملکرد این مواد در کاربردهای مختلف کمک کند. در نمونه‌های حاوی 3 درصد نانوسیلیس، فضاهای خالی کمتری مشاهده شد که نشان‌دهنده اتصال خوب الیاف با ماتریس و جلوگیری از جدایی آن‌ها در زمان شکست است.

چکیده English

This study examines the influence of nanosilica incorporation on the mechanical and thermal performance of hybrid biocomposites composed of pine wood flour and recycled polypropylene. Composite formulations containing 50 wt% polypropylene, 50 wt% pine wood flour, nanosilica at four loadings (0, 3, 6, and 9 wt%), and 3 wt% maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene were compounded using a twin-screw extruder. Standardized test specimens were subsequently manufactured by injection molding. Mechanical properties—tensile and flexural strength and modulus, as well as notched Izod impact strength —alongside thermal behavior and flammability characteristics were evaluated. Increasing nanosilica content to 9 wt% resulted in reductions of 12.98% and 5.16% in tensile strength and tensile modulus, respectively. Flexural strength, flexural modulus, and notched impact strength also declined by 6.1%, 5.02%, and 10.92%, respectively. Conversely, the limiting oxygen index exhibited a 12.4% increase at the highest nanosilica loading, accompanied by higher residual char and improved thermal stability. Morphological analyses further showed fewer interfacial voids in specimens containing 3 wt% nanosilica, indicating superior fiber–matrix adhesion and reduced fiber pullout. Overall, nanosilica demonstrated a favorable contribution to the thermal performance of the composites, though excessive loading adversely affected mechanical properties due to nanoparticle agglomeration. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing nanosilica content to achieve a balanced enhancement of mechanical and thermal functionalities in bio-based polymer composites.
