Entylene Vinyl Acetate/Carbonized Wood Fiber Composites: The Effect of Zinc Chloride Content on Tensile Properties, Electrical Properties and Thermal Degradation

[摘要] Challenges faced to develop conductive composites comprised of poor electro-active stability, control of the mobility, mechanical properties, presentation and concentration of bioactive molecules. Carbonized wood fiber (CWF) was successfully produced from waste wood fiber by using conventional furnace machine at 700 °C in air atmosphere for 4 hours. While, CWF coated ZnCl2 was carried out surface modification process via ethanol solution. In this study, the effect of different ZnCl2 content coating CWF with the fixed CWF filler and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composites was studied. The samples were prepared by using Brabender Plasticoder at 160 °C and 50 rpm rotor speed. The result indicated that increasing ZnCl2 content showed tensile strength, tensile modulus, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability compared to unmodified composites.
