The nature of adhesion in composites of modified cellulose fibers and polypropylene
Abstract
Cellulose fibers were surface modified with polypropylene–maleic anhydride copolymer. The physical properties of such fibers were characterized by contact angle measurements, and the chemical structure was identified with ESCA and FTIR. ESCA showed that the modifying agent was localized at the surface of the fibers. The modified fibers were compounded with polypropylene, and composites with various amount of fibers were manufactured by injection molding. All mechanical properties were improved when treated fibers were used. SEM showed improved dispersion, wetting of fibers, and adhesion. The nature of adhesion was studied using FTIR. It was found that the surface modifying agent is covalently bonded to the fibers through esterification. The degree of esterification is enhanced by activating the modifying agent before fiber treatment. This study has shown the effects of treatment conditions on activation of reactive species and chemical reaction between fiber and modifying agent. Moreover, a better understanding has been achieved of the nature of adhesion for the system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
