    Composite samples were prepared from Poly(vinyl chloride)/low-density polyethylene (PVC/ LDPE) blend, compatibilized by PA20 (methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate copolymer), and reinforced by different levels of rubber-wood sawdust. To improve the mechanical properties of the composites, Silane A-137 (Octyltriethoxy silane), Silane A-1100 (γ- aminopropyltriethoxy silane), or MAPE (maleic anhydride-grafted-polyethylene) were introduced. It was found that the additions of Silane A-137, Silane A-1100, and MAPE could improve tensile and impact properties of the composites, regardless of the sawdust contents. Physical or chemical interactions for all coupling agents with the wood-PVC/LDPE composites used were proposed in this work. Silane A-137 or MAPE tended to give better improvement in the mechanicalproperties of the composites than Silane A-1100, because of the presence of the nonpolar chain ends of Silane A-137 or MAPE molecules. Besides, the addition of either Silane A-137 and MAPE or Silane A-1100 and MAPE at different ratios into the wood-PVC/LDPE composites was also studied. The experimental results suggested that the optimum mechanical properties could be obtained using Silane A-137 : MAPE of 1% : 2% wt sawdust. The morphological and thermal properties of the composites were also examined using SEM and DMA techniques, respectively. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    This article aimed to investigate the mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of PVC/LDPE blend with and without the addition of compatibilizers. The effects of LDPE content, compatibilizer type and rubberwood sawdust loading on the properties of the blend were evaluated. The experimental results suggested that as the LDPE content was increased the mechanical properties of PVC-LDPE blend progressively decreased due to poor interfacial adhesion. The continuity and compatibility between PVC and LDPE phases could be improved through three different types of compatibilizers which included chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) poly(methyl-methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate) (PA20) and poly(ethylene-co-methacrylate) (Elvaloy). The PA20 was found to be the most suitable compatibilizer for the blend. A radical transfer reaction was proposed in this work to explain the structure and thermal changes of the PVC in PVC-LDPE blend. The decomposition temperature of PVC in the blend decreased with the loading of the PA20 and the wood sawdust. As the sawdust content was increased the tensile and flexural moduli increased with considerable decreased in the tensile, flexural and impact strength, a slight improvement being achieved if the PA20 was incorporated in the composite. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Physical, chemical, and dyeing properties of Bombyx mori silks grafted by 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate

    To obtain silk weight gain and to improve silk properties, Bombyx mori silks were grafted with either 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA). The moisture regain of the HEMA-grafted and MMA-grafted silks depended on the hydrophilicity of the used monomers. The acid and alkaline resistances of the HEMA-grafted and MMA-grafted silks were clearly improved. Both commercial synthetic dyes, that is, acid and reactive dyes, and a natural dye extracted from turmeric, with potassium aluminum sulfate as a mordant, were used in this study. The results suggested that the dye uptake increased in the presence of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) or poly(methyl methacrylate) in the silk fibroin structures when acid and curcumin dyes were used. The washfastness level of the HEMA-grafted silk dyed by acid and reactive dyes was similar to that of the degummed silk. However, the colorfastness to washing of the MMA-grafted silk dyed by an acid dye was improved when the polymer add-on concentration was 65%. In addition, the washfastness for both grafted silks was improved when they were dyed with natural curcumin dyestuff. The acid and alkaline perspiration fastness properties remained unchanged for the HEMA-grafted and MMA-grafted silks when acid, reactive, and curcumin dyes were applied. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    To improve their dyeing and colorfastness properties, degummed Bombyx mori silks were chemically modified by a grafting technique with either methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer or methacrylamide (MAA) monomer. Both commercial synthetic dyes, that is, acid and basic dyes, and natural dyes extracted from turmeric, without and with potassium aluminum sulfate mordant, were used in this study. Percentage dye uptake increased with the presence of poly(methyl methacrylate) or polymethacrylamide in the silk fibroin structure regardless of the types of the dyestuffs. Furthermore, compared to the degummed silk, the colorfastness to washing of the MMA-grafted and MAA-grafted silks dyed with acid, basic, and curcumin dyestuffs were greatly improved. Colorfastness to both acid and basic perspirations with acid and basic dyestuffs was slightly improved, whereas perspiration fastness remained unchanged for curcumin dyeing without and with the presence of the mordant. Also, the low-light resistances of the degummed and grafted silks dyed by curcumin dyestuff were notably improved by the MMA and MAA grafting technique. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
