Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on biocomposites resulting from the combination of post-extraction rapeseed meal (RP) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The products were fabricated using a press machine with a mould heating system. The biocomposites were then subjected to stress tests, their surface wettability was determined and color analyses were conducted. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), a cross-section observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to examine the structure and thermomechanical properties of the material obtained. The research results showed that an increase in the share of MCC to 8% and increasing the process temperature to 140 °C improved the strength parameters of the products obtained, as well as their thermal resistance. It was also found that the wettability of products was affected both by process temperature and addition of cellulose; similar wettability results were obtained for MCC 8% (120 °C) and MCC 2% (140 °C). Photographs taken using a scanning electron microscope revealed that the biocomposite surface was the smoothest in the case of materials fabricated under the highest process temperature and with the highest MCC proportion.
