摘要
A method for modifying wood fiber with non-solvent media, to produce ready-to-use hydrophobic fiber suitable for use in composites, is proposed in this paper. The chemical modification was achieved by means of a consecutive reaction (cellulose/oxatic acid/cetyl alcohol) performed in a mixing chamber, at 110 degrees C and 30 rpm. The reaction product was washed by extraction with water and hexanes and then characterized by using spectroscopic techniques (FTIR and C-13 CPMAS-NMR). The results from these analyses revealed the presence of C = O groups, indicating that the esterification reaction was successful. The thermal stability of the treated samples was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); the modified fiber exhibited an increased thermal stability relative to the unmodified fiber, this increase may be related to both the formation of ester groups and the grafting of the cetyl radicals.
