Effects of PMDI Treatments on Thermal Properties of Silvergrass Reinforced High Density Polyethylene Composites

Abstract:

In this study, silvergrass (SV) reinforced high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were prepared. The effects of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI), slivergrass fibers (SV) content on the thermal, crystalline properties of wood plastic composites (WPCs) were investigated. It was found that Compared with the untreated WPCs, the thermal stability of the composites after incorporation of PMDI treated SV fibers was significantly improved. Moreover, the results show that with PMDI treated composites, SV was an effective heterogeneous nucleating agent.
