Abstract

AbstractThe modification of cellulose fibers by grafting specific functions could improve their quality and allow their use for the development of new products. In this work we report about the functionalization of a cellulose fiber network (filters) with organo-polysilazane oligomers by UV-irradiation. Photo-induced grafting, as assessed by contact angle and TGA measurements, was successful: an interesting enhancement of thermal resistance and mechanical properties was obtained. Water repellency was also achieved.
