  • Description: In order to get composite materials with high mechanical properties, the quality of the interface between the fibres and the matrix has to be good enough to enable the load transfer. In the case of wood polymer composites, made of hydrophilic wood particles and of a generally non-polar polymer, the lack of natural compatibility between the constituents hinders the load transfer. Aiming at decreasing the gap of polarity between wood fibres and polymer matrices, fluorination has been applied to wood. This treatment is known to be very efficient to make more hydrophobic materials without requiring solvent or high temperature. After the optimization of the treatment parameters so as to get a high level of fluorine grafting without burning the particles, the hygroscopic and thermal behaviors of the fluorinated wood flour have been evaluated and compared to the non-treated flour. For that purpose, several analyses were carried out: FT-IR spectroscopy, 19F solid-state NMR spectroscopy, SEM, contact angle measurements, TGA. The fluorine based treatment was shown to decrease notably the capacity of the wood particles to absorb water without damaging their surfaces. Lastly, at the composite scale, the wood fluorination was shown to strongly reduce its hydrophilicity and to largely enhance its tensile and flexural properties. This is directly linked with the improvement of the compatibility between the treated (and thus, less hydrophilic) wood particles and the polymer matrix, as also proved by X-ray tomography.
