| Summary: | In this research the impact of micro cellulose particles length, and coupling agent (MAPP) on the mechanical and thermal properties of Nano/ wood plastics composites were investigated. The results showed that mechanical properties of the composites made with 50 micron micro cellulose particles and 5 % of MAPP were significantly different to those of the lower length (20 micron) and 2.5% of MAPP. Addition of MAPP enhanced the mechanical and thermal properties of the blends, due to the improvement of interface bond between the filler and matrix of Nano/ wood plastics composites. The significant improvements in mechanical properties of the blended composites made with MAPP and NC were further supported by SEM and TEM micrographs. Nano/ clay particles distribution and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the addition of 5% MAPP and the longer micro cellulose particles remarkably increased the thermal stability of the blends compared to other treatments of Nano/ wood plastics composites. |
