Thermal Characterization of Neem and Cork Wood Polyacrylonitrile Composites
Wood polyacrylonitrile composite (WPC) from neem and cork woods were synthesized. The process was carried out through benzoyl peroxide(0.05mol/l) catalyzed impregnation polymerization of acrylonitrile 2mol/l, 4mol/l, 6mol/l into neem and cork woods in benzene medium at 75+-10c.The properties of WPC over untreated wood was evaluated. Loading of PAN into cork woods as ascertained through TGA, DTGA and DTA as well as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was found to increase the resistance against thermo-oxidation of WPCs in comparison to untreated wood. Themogravimteric analysis (TGA) is one of the techniques used to determine the thermal properties of wood.Wood polyacrylonitrile composite (WPC) from, mango and cork wood was synthesized. The process was carried out through benzoyl peroxide (0.05mol\l) catalyzed impregnation polymerization of acrylonitrile, 4mol/l, 6mol\l into cork wood and mango wood in benzene medium at 75+-10c. The properties of WPCs over untreated woods were evaluated in terms of Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) in Nitrogen. Thermo gravimetric analysis were improved with impregnation of polyacrylonitrile. Impregnation of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) into, mango, cork woods were confirmed through scanning electron microscope. In the present research effects have been made to develop such polyacrylonitrile impregnated composites in Benzene medium having improved thermal stability for there commercial exploitation for desirable purposes.
Detrmination Of Wear Resistance Of Neem, Mango And Cork Wood Polyacrylonitrile Composites
Wood has long been used by the plastics industry as in expensive filler to increase strength and stiffness of the thermo plastic or to reduce raw materials cost. Wood Polymer composites consist primarily of wood and thermoplastic polymers. The commercial successes of these materials have been primarily by the promise of improved moisture performance, recycled and waste material utilization and efficiency in product and process design. Wood polyacrylonitrile composite (WPC) from neem, mango and cork wood was synthesized. The process was carried out through benzoyl peroxide(0.05mol/l)catalyzed impregnation polymerization of acrylonitrile,4mol/l,6mol/l into neem wood cork wood and mango wood in benzene medium at 75+-10c. The properties of WPCs over untreated woods were evaluated in terms of wear resistance test of wood was improved with impregnation of polyacrylonitrile .Impregnation of polyacyrlonitrile (PAN) into neem, mango and cork woods were was confirmed through scanning electron microscope.
