Abstract
The rising concern towards environmental issue underscores the “greenproducts” based on natural resources for a wide range of applications. Theseefforts include white rice husk ash (WRHA) considering as an alternative rawmaterial for lignocellulosic filler in green composite. We present the propertiesevaluation of composite WRHA dispersing into polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) with di-isononyl-phthalate(DINP) as compatibilizing agent by compression molding method. The XRD analysisshows typical main peak of silica crystalline, the strengthening materials asreinforcement within the composite structure. The SEM demonstrated that WRHAfillers were well embedded in PVC matrix and better adhesion occurred between themand the matrix. Thus, the adhesion between the reinforcing fiber and the matrixplays an important role in the mechanical properties of the materials. The positiveachievement for fire resistance and its mechanism were specially discussed forceiling board in/outdoor environment applications.
