Preparation and investigation of mechanical properties of composite based on epoxy resinand cellulose fibers functionalized by amine groups

Cellulose is one of the biofibers that can be used to improve the mechanical properties of polymermaterials to make composite materials with high stability and performance. The biggest challenge that preventsthe use of cellulose as a reinforcement in polymer composites is its poor compatibility due to the inherenthydrophilicity of cellulose and the hydrophobic nature of polymer matrices. In the present study, the surface ofcellulose was modified with amine groups. The composite obtained from modified cellulose and epoxy resinshowed ۲۵% higher tensile strength than pure epoxy resin
