Abstract

Impregnation of natural fabric with polymeric materials finds wide range of industrial applications. The challenge here is to use wastes to be recycled into useful things. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) was used as the target polymer for impregnation of natural fabrics (jute). Maleic anhydride and abietic acid reacted together to give adduct via Diels Alder reaction. Investigation of the produced maleoabietic adduct was established using Fourier transform infrrared (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). Expanded polystyrene waste was grafted with the adduct and the product was investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and (DSC). The tensile strength and consequently the adhesion performance between the grafted polystyrene and the jute fabrics were increased upon using maleoabietic as coupling agent. The tensile strength showed abrupt change up to 441 MPa upon using 12 phr maleoabietic.
