الملخص
Plywood sheets based on wood plastic nanocomposites were prepared
using palm tree fibers (PTF) filled in polystyrene (PS) nanocomposites. The
nanocomposite sheets were prepared using free radical polymerization of styrene
monomer containing 60 % PTF and different nanosilica concentrations. The effect
of coupling agent on the adhesion between PTF and PS/SiO2 nanocomposites and
PTF was pronounced at low nanosilica concentrations. The results of the flexural
strength, impact test, abrasion resistance, and water absorption were explained on
the basis of the effect of coupling agent between PTF and nanocomposite resin.
