Polystyrene Composites Prepared with Polystyrene Grafted-fibers of Sugarcane Bagasse as Reinforcing Material

Bagasse Fibers of sugarcane were modified with dichloromethylvinylsilane and consecutively grafted with polystyrene. For unmodified fibers, TGA showed two maximum decomposition peaks at 320°C and at 370°C. For silanized fibers, the most stable stage was shifted to a higher temperature of 470°C and t...

Descripción
Sumario:Bagasse Fibers of sugarcane were modified with dichloromethylvinylsilane and consecutively grafted with polystyrene. For unmodified fibers, TGA showed two maximum decomposition peaks at 320°C and at 370°C. For silanized fibers, the most stable stage was shifted to a higher temperature of 470°C and to 510°C for silanized and polystyrene grafted fibers. Young moduli of composites increased from 1.9 GPa for non-treated fibers to 3.3 GPa for silanized and polystyrene grafted fibers.
