Crab Shell Chitin Whisker Reinforced Natural Rubber Nanocomposites. 2. Mechanical Behavior

Gopalan Nair, Kalaprasad, Dufresne, Alain·2003·Biomacromolecules

Abstract

In a previous work (part 1), nanocomposite materials were obtained using a latex of either unvulcanized or prevulcanized natural rubber as the matrix and a colloidal suspension of crab chitin whiskers as the reinforcing phase. The mechanical behavior of the resulting nanocomposite films was analyzed in both the linear and the nonlinear range in the present study. The effects of the filler and processing technique were evaluated, and the results are discussed based on the knowledge of the structural morphology and swelling behavior reported in our previous work. The reinforcing effect of chitin whiskers strongly depended on their ability to form a rigid three-dimensional network, resulting from strong interactions such as hydrogen bonds between the whiskers. The results emanating from the successive tensile test experiments give clear evidence for the presence of a three-dimensional chitin network within the evaporated samples. Cross-linking of the matrix was found to interfere with the formation of this network.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
