Plastics and Composites from Lignophenols

  • Chapter
Natural Fibers, Plastics and Composites

Abstract

Alkali and ionized air treated and untreated lignocellulosic fibers, such as sisal, jute and curaua, were used to reinforce phenolic and lignophenolic matrix materials. The results favor sisal fiber for its excellent performance as a reinforcing agent of phenolic and lignophenolic matrices, increasing the impact strength up to 35 fold in relation to that obtained with thermoset composites. The use of lignin as a partial substitute for phenol in closed cell lignophenolic foams reduces the thermal conductivity and allows classifying the lignophenolic foam as a thermal isolating structural foam.
