Polypropylene-based composites were prepared containing non-treated and various treated cotton fibre and wood flakes. A correlation was observed among the fibre treatment and compounding parameters, mechanical and discoloration properties. The structural changes in fibres were demonstrated by Raman spectroscopic and DSC measurements. The possibility for forming cellulose fibre containing flame retardant composites was also investigated. The efficiency of various treatments on compounding, discoloration and mechanical properties enhance in the following order: no treatment < non ionic surfactant < reactive silicone segment containing non ionic surfactant < special silylation treatment. The best results obtained with the special silylation treatment were explained with the more organophilic character and by the thermal stability of the treated fibres. Cellulose fibre as a polyol-charring component and ammonium-polyphosphate together constitute a high performance intumescent flame retardant system in the PP matrix. 相似文献
The investigation of the interesting collection of the petrified wood from Bondyrz, Roztocze, south-eastern Poland, has been
continued. Two kinds of microprobes such as electron microprobe from the Catholic University of Lublin and synchrotron-based
X-ray microprobe from LURE, Orsay, were applied to detect the elements associated with the main component – silica and their
spatial distribution and interrelations. The distribution of carbon in the petrified material has been established, which
is important since that element is the main remains from the history of the trees. The carbon distribution was characteristic
– it concentrated on a place of primordial dark wood. The distribution patterns of the other elements were either similar
to that of carbon (Cu, Pb) or they concentrated in separate inclusions (Fe, Al, K, Na, Ca). The replicating mode of the original
wood pattern in silica and carbon-containing material was explained. Some indications about the composition of the primordial
petrifying solution, the rate of the petrifaction process and the recent coloration of the sample could be concluded from
the compositional patterns of silica. The boundary between totally and partially petrified zones could be well observed.

Summary: Extensive studies using mussel adhesive protein as a formaldehyde‐free, strong, and water‐resistant adhesive model revealed that a combination of a polymer with catechol moieties and a polymer with amino groups could serve as a strong and water‐resistant wood adhesive. This study demonstrated that the treatment of abundant and readily available brown‐rot‐fungus‐decayed wood with NaBH4 followed by mixing with polyethylenimine resulted in a formaldehyde‐free, strong, and water‐resistant wood adhesive.
Lignin is demethylated by brown‐rot fungi and then reduced using NaBH4. 相似文献
