Abstract
In this study, Buxus sempervirens leaf ingredient (LP) and the carbon (LC) and the ash (LA) were obtained, which are the bio-originated materials. Carbon and ash obtained from this natural plant were prepared by heating and pyrolysis for 2 h at 250 ℃ and 700 ℃, respectively. Then, the solution casting method was used to prepare the composites of these bio-additives with polystyrene. Next, the effects of the additives on diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of polystyrene were investigated. In addition, the additives led to noticeable changes in X-ray diffraction results, implying a change in the morphology of the polymer. All of these observations imply the uniform formation of the polystyrene (PS) composites with the micro and bio-fillers.
