Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of the relative motion of nano CaCO3 reinforced bamboo pulp fiber (BPF)/HDPE composite components on the mechanical performance, a comparative study was performed. BPF was treated by nano CaCO3 blending (BM) and impregnation modification (IM) technology. The composites were produced using hot press (HPMP), extrusion (EMP) and injection molding process (IMP). The physical morphology of BPF was similar at different manufacturing processes. Compared to the samples manufactured by HPMP, a decrease in the (specific) flexural strength of BPF/HDPE composites and an increase in those of composites treated by nano CaCO3 manufactured by EMP and IMP were observed. The injection molded composites exhibited the best values in the (specific) impact strength, (specific) tensile properties. IM had a greater effect on the rheological behavior of the composites than BM, and nano CaCO3 treatment most effectively affected the performance of the extrusion molded composites.
