The plasticized cellulose diacetate (CDA) with triacetine (TA) was compounded with kenaf fiber as reinforcing agents by melting process. The kenaf fiber was treated with alkali solution. In order to compatibilize, the fiber was modified with acetate. The degree of acetate was examined as function of acetylating time and amount of acetate. The different levels of acetated kenaf fiber were added into the plasticized CDA. The mechanical and thermal properties of CDA/kenaf fiber compounds were investigated by UTM and TGA, DMA, respectively. The morphology of the compound was observed by SEM-image. |
