Effect of chemical treatment on newspaper fibers reinforced polymer poly(vinyl chloride) composites

Abstract: Natural fibers used as reinforcement in composite materials present specific mechanical properties, which are comparable to glass fibers. In addition, they have the advantage of being renewable and recyclable. However, their main drawback is their inherent susceptibility to moisture expansion, which has the effect of inducing a decrease in mechanical properties, and of debonding in the composite. In this study, lignocellulosic fibers from newspapers were modified with acetic anhydride, NaOH, and KMnO 4 in orde… Show more

“…This improvement is attributed to the good dispersion of fibers which lends some flexibility to the material. Moreover, it is noted that the addition of the alkalited fibers in PVC matrix (PVC/NTF) does not bring any improvement in the deformation; such a result is confirmed by Nedjma et al [50]. Shore hardness of PVC composites with untreated palm fibers ( Figure 5), increase with the increasing of fibers.…”

“…Recycled paper fibers have great potential for polymer composites as a reinforcement because they are the millimeter-scale length and micro-scale diameter with robust mechanical properties. Recently, recycled paper fiber as reinforcement for polymer composites has been reported [9,10,11,12,13,14]. Interface modification using maleated type coupling agent and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with old newspaper, kraft pulp, and hemp were studied [14].…”

“…The thermal stability of lignocellulosic‐filled polymer matrix composites is a very important parameter for the processing and usage of these materials. The manufacture of such composites requires mixing of the fibers and matrix at higher temperatures, so the degradation of the cellulosic fibers can produce undesirable effects on the resulted properties of polymer composites .…”
