Cellulose is the most common structural biological organic compound on Earth which is widely used in paper and textile industries and urea-formaldehyde resin is a thermosetting plastic used mostly as adhesives for plywood, particleboard and other structured wood products. Natural fiber composites are realistic alternatives of glass fiber composites. Using urea-formaldehyde, resorcinol-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, saturated polyesters as matrixes and natural fiber as reinforcem...
Cellulose is the most abundant, structural, biological organic compound on Earth which is widely used in paper and textile industries. In this project work, the blend of compressive character of Urea-Formaldehyde Resin with addition of Cellulose is tested. Cellulose can be extracted from dried plant by alkaline treatment (mercerization), followed by neutralization with acid; product of which undergoes bleaching to produce pure form of cellulose. Urea Formaldehyde Resin c...
The variation of character of urea formaldehyde resin with addition of cellulose extracted from corn husk was tested. Cellulose was extracted from dried raw corn (Zea mays) husk, the second largest agricultural crop grown around the world, by alkaline treatment (mercerization), followed by neutralization with acid; product of which underwent bleaching to produce pure form of cellulose. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin was prepared by heating the formaldehyde in paraffin oil bath and adding urea t...
