Description:
Poly-Fibrex (PF-X) for Home Building and Other Construction Applications. By D. A. Flores The Problem and the Potential. Recently, there has been the appearance on the market of new plasti-wood composites in order to offer the consumer materials with which to upgrade major features in homebuilding as with doors and windows that are more resilient or long-lasting and stronger for safety construction and are aesthetically more attractive as a features to home construction. The use of "green" industrial methods for construction of building infrastructural materials as utilized by trade professionals using new "fusion technology" is just the beginning of producing such advanced hybrid materials for outdoor use that do not breakdown as easily over the years such as for landscaping including fencing, enclosures, seating and in public places for bus stop conveniences and parks and recreation applications including recreational playgrounds. The Chemical Nature, Fabrication and Construction with "Fusion" Poly-Fibrex (Plasti-wood). The use of polyhydroxyacetate alkanoates is proposed made to a thermobioplastic polymer together with pure cellulose pulp from wood cellulose that has been extracted of its lignin component by lacasse bleaching, an enzyme in a bioreactor that serves as a lignin stripping agents and use also of hemicellulase to breakdown of hemicellulose along with cellulose and lignin and then its physical mechanical extrusion to long microfibres designed to homogeneously blend as a hybridize material with our plastic polymer as it is heat pressure extruded of solvent and to cure plasti-wood surface to harden the "fusion" polymeric material or poly-fibrex (plasti-wood), as it is referred to. Use of acetate(aq) as the aqeous organic solvent suspension with pulp simultaneously "fusioned" with the alkanoate as it polymerizes into lengths as most thermoplastic biopolymers are using real-time extrusion to form into the molded flange or siding composite material, compressed to the required strength or density, thoroughly cured of acetate(aq) as a continuous extenuating "slag" in successive compression molds eventually cooled at room temperature to the desired end product and can be further tooled to the manufacture of doors, windows, siding, and whole home upgrade installations (e. g. saunas, and more elaborate spas, both assembled and installed for home upgrades), luxury showering stalls (indoor/outdoor) and assembled hot tubs with platforms for the outdoors or with gazebos. The product is expected to be many times stronger than vinyl siding and lasts much longer in years in use and appearance without warping. It should be noted that humidity control is suggested to limit moisture accumulation on the surface and with the use of thermo-paned treated glass paneling (silver oxide is the active ingredient) protecting from harmful UV from sunlight and insulated for heat in/cold out retention. Description of the Synthesis of Plasti-wood Poly-Fibrex (PF-X) Material. "Tweaking" the structural properties of our polyhydroxy-cetateate polymer may require elaborating hydroxyl (-OH) grps to a total of 8 estimated to effectively "snag" or "hook" the other surrounding -OH's groups in the polymeric matrix of cellulosic ring structures making contact at the molecular level with improved solubility in acetate and so with the co-material of cellulosic fibres. A ready supply of pure acetate could be obtained from deacetylation of acetomannans, the major carbohydrate polymer from the aloe vera plant (see: Bio-Kerosene webpage here at: Hum-molgen.org), if available or from that crop or from fermentation of sugar to vinegar's acetate or from fermentation of hydrocarbon as chemically done to synthesize acetic acid solvent. FIG. 1: Synthesis of Poly-Fibrex from Poly-Hydroxyacetate Alkanoate. Steps: 1. Alpha-halogenate the acetate monomeric units in preparation for directional end-to-end reaction mechanistic chain-lengthening 2. Acid-catalyzed polymerization to 300-400 monomeric length polymeric unit strands 3. Stochiometrically halogenate with [Cl2(g)] HCH2-CO-O-CH2-CO-O-H + 2 Cl2(g) (4 Cl atoms in total)(or more) --------------> HCl + [HC(Cl2)-CO-O-C(Cl2)-CO-OH H2=key H atoms for substitution via halogenation Others rxn conditions: are temp., rxn time, solvent system, and any other reactants. 4. Finish Off by Substitution -Cl with the -OH Groups. PRODUCT: (L) H-C(OH)2-CO-O-[(CH(OH)2]-CO-O-C(OH2)-CO-O]- (R) Alternative Synthesis Using Butyrate (vs. Acetate) as Substrate. A second generation material made from starting material is butyrate, although not as sustainable as acetate available from biomass sources, but possible through the elaboration of halogenation reactions first with alpha-halogenation, then elimination of HBr to the double bond and finally halogenation with Br2(g) setting the stage for chain elongation, followed by HBr elimination, again Br2(g) addition and then -Br substitutions for -OH groups to make the final polymer product with -OH 'hooks'. It remains to be corroborated or confirmed mechanistically if other route with butyrate is available for use. The butyrate-based polymer is more effective per molecule with beta-glucose of cellulose due to the more closely spaced -OH groups in the polymer. Other Applications with Poly-Fibrex Material for Construction. Fencing is now arguable in terms material redesigning for use in areas where wood as in cedar board fencing is by far more commonplace and proves to becoming friable and costly to replace after some years of use and even fail structurally needing urgent replacement in many cases. Fencing is a critical feature for property presentability and value including along greenspaces and whose barriers are to requisite to aesthetic and real estate value for owners and buyers. Our new material for frame and board would introduce a new opportunity to rebuild structural fencing in residential property for various municipalities and surrounding natural parks or settings to high standards in terms appearance and attractiveness and durability for value over time. Concluding Remarks. Although not a first time, this development in fusioned plasti-wood building material represents in itself as a construction and refurbishing material for real estate and public use a multi-billion dollar opportunity in industry and one that is more conservative of material use due to its longevity or durability and presents even greater value to the consumer and public user. It is versatile in its applications which can only growth with time and creativity in application to the building sector in industry.
