Abstract

In this study, the physico-mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of styrene-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (ST-co-SPMA) with clay impregnated wood polymer nanocomposites (WPNCs) were investigated. The WPNCs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), 3-point bending and free-vibration testing, and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The FT-IR results showed that the absorbance intensity at 698 cm−1 was higher for ST-co-MSPM-clay-WPNC and ST-

clay-WPNC when compared to styrene wood polymer composite (ST-WPC), ST-co-MSPA-WPC, and raw wood. The XRD result revealed that the d-spacing of WPNCs and WPCs was higher than that of raw wood. The SEM results showed that ST-co-MSPM-clay-WPNC had smoother surfaces when compared to other nanocomposites and raw wood. The modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), dynamic Young’s moduli (Ed), and thermal stability of ST-co-MSPM-clay-WPNC were considerably higher when compared to wood polymer nanocomposites (WPNCs) and raw wood.
