Study on Properties of Biomass-Based Composite Materials and Application in Decorative Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a significant wall decoration material due to its strong decorative appeal and moderate cost.Current wallpaper materials are predominantly plastic-based,which are challenging to degrade and release toxic substances.Biomass materials,including wheat straw,rice straw,and corn straw,are used to partially replace PE in composite wallpaper to investigate the effects of these biomass materials on the tensile strength,fracture shrinkage ratio,and Young's modulus of the composites.Results indicate that with a 10%content,the tensile strength of wheat and rice biomass materials decreases by 11%and 21%,respectively.Under the same dosage,the maximum tensile strength of wheat biomass material reaches 13.79 MPa,while bamboo biomass material exhibits the highest Young's modulus at 542.2 MPa.The performance of composites with mixed biomass materials shows minimal variation.Biomass materials demonstrate potential as partial plastic replacements for wallpaper production.
