Adhesion of Polymer Sphere to Modified Natural Fiber via AFM

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
James Holbery
Project type
Exploratory Research
The modification of natural fiber surfaces (Kenaf, Flax, etc.) to control the hydrophobicity is critical in utilizing these structural fibere within polymer composites. As a measure of the adhesion…
