Polymer nanocomposites were prepared from poly(oxyethylene) PEO as the matrix and high aspect ratio cellulose whiskers as the reinforcing phase. Nanocomposite films were obtained either by extrusion or by casting/evaporation process. Resulting films were characterized using microscopies, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and mechanical and rheological analyses. A thermal stabilization...
Banana plant waste, as lignocellulosic fiber, was treated with alkaline pulping and steam explosion to produce banana fibers and banana microfibrils. The chemical composition of the ensuing fibers and microfibrils was determined. The chemical modification, with maleic anhydride, of the produced particles was further carried out. The FT-IR analysis and scanning electron microscopy observations of the...
