THERMOMECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SISAL FIBERS GRAFTED WITH POLY(ACRYLAMIDE-CO-N-VINYL-2-PYRROLIDONE) AND LOADED WITH SILVER IONS OR SILVER NANOPARTICLES

THERMOMECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SISAL FIBERS GRAFTED WITH POLY(ACRYLAMIDE-CO-N-VINYL-2-PYRROLIDONE) AND LOADED WITH SILVER IONS OR SILVER NANOPARTICLES

The graft copolymerization of acrylamide, N-vinyl-2-pyrralidone and N, N’-methylene-bis-acrylamide was carried out to modify the sisal fiber to improve its mechanical and thermal stability. The grafting of poly-(acrylamide-co-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) on sisal fiber surfaces facilitated the loading of...
