This study separated and treated successfully micro-cellulose fibers from petioles of Vietnamese nipa palm tree (tCell) by simple mechanical and chemical methods. The combination of the treated micro-cellulose fibers and reduced-graphene oxide by hydrazine hydrate (tCell-RGO) increases the thermal stability and the glass transition temperature of polymethylmathacrylat (PMMA) in synthesis composite by in situ emulsion method. The study improves the environmental friendliness of PMMA and overcome the disadvantages of low thermal decomposition of cellulose in preparation of polymer composites, especially kinds of heat-stable polymers as PMMA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
