About this document
Silane Treatment in Fiber Composites by Ashokan Keloth is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study on producing composite materials from natural cellulose fibers and thermoplastic polymer matrices. Four types of cellulose fibers and two polymer matrices (low density polyethylene and natural rubber) were used. The cellulose fibers were treated with three different silane coupling agents prior to mixing with the polymer matrices. The silane treatments were aimed at improving the mechanical interfacial bonding between the hydrophilic cellulose fibers and the hydrophobic poly
