Journal Textile Coloration and Finishing Year / Vol., Issue, Month 2021 / V.33,no.4,Dec Title A Study on the Hydrophobicity Modification and Physical Properties of Tencel Regenerated Fibers for Polypropylene Resin Composites Authors Songhyun Yoon, Mikyung Kim*, and Eunsoo Lee Institution/Affiliations DYETEC Pages/Total page pp.258 ~ 268 / 11 Language Korean Abstract This study conducted on the introduction of recycled cellulose fibers, which are widely used in the textile industry as eco-friendly biomass materials, into polypropylene resins, which are mainly used for interior and exterior materials such as door trims and console parts of automobiles. In general, cellulose fibers can affect mechanical properties and have a lightening effect when used as a reinforcing agent. However, since cellulose fibers have hydrophilic properties and have relatively low compatibility with industrial polymer resins, they are used in combination through fiber hydrophobic surface treatment. Therefore, through this study, the reforming reaction conditions optimized in terms of hydrophobicity and workability for cellulose fibers are studied. Furthermore, polypropylene containing surface-modified cellulose fibers was prepared to compare physical properties by fiber content and study optimized content.
