Abstract

To increase hydrophobicity of surfaces of coir pulp, carbon–tungsten carbide (WC) was synthesized and simultaneously deposited on coir pulp by applying in-liquid electrical discharge plasma, so-called solution plasma process (SPP). As a result, water contact angle of carbon-WC deposited coir pulp was 123.4°, whereas that of coir pulp was 82.8°. The carbon-WC deposited coir pulp was then used as a filler in polylactic acid (PLA) to attain composite films of PLA/carbon-WC deposited coir pulp. The deposition of carbon-WC on coir pulp not only increased hydrophobicity of coir pulp but also improved compatibility between the filler and PLA. Even at the low filler content of 0.75 wt%, tensile strength and Young’s modulus of composite films of PLA/carbon-WC deposited coir pulp increased up to 45.73% and 22.79%, respectively compared with those of neat PLA film. Furthermore, the presence of carbon-WC deposited coir pulp in the PLA composite films could enhance the formation of crystalline structure of PLA. Accordingly, SPP is an interesting tool for surface modification of coir pulp in order to achieve surface-functionalized coir pulp for using as a filler in green composites.
