The degree of mechanical reinforcement that could be obtained by the introduction of henequen cellulosic fibers in a low-density polyethylene, LDPE, matrix was assessed experimentally. Composite materials of LDPE-henequen cellulosic fibers were prepared by mechanical mixing. The concentration of ran

The grafting polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and cellulose from henequen (Agave fourcroydes ) is investigated as a function of the initiator concentration (cerium-and-ammonium nitrate) and the monomer/cellulose ratio. The formation of cellulose-g-PMMA is confirmed by IR spectroscopy, DSC
Because we are living in an era of Green Science and Technology, developments in the field of bio- and nano- polymer composite materials for advanced structural and medical applications is a rapidly emerging area and the subject of scientific attention. In light of the continuously deteriorating env
Nylon 6 fiber, grafted with various vinyl monomers, viz., methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), and n-butyl methacrylate (n-BMA) were evaluated for their tensile, dye uptake, moisture regain, and solubility characteristics and compared to those of the parent nylon 6 fiber. The tensile
