  Abstract

Mechanically extracted and Neuropeltis Accuminatas (NA) fiber treated was grafted with methyl acrylate. Scanning electron microscopy before and after grafting clearly shows the presence of a thin layer of polymer covering the fiber surface. The energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) analysis shows the variation in the level of iron II used during grafting. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) show a decrease in the degradation temperature following each treatment applied to the fiber. The change in the absorption rate in 2 and 24 h of the grafted fibers of methyl acrylate absorbs less water than the raw fibers, treated with (NaOH) and bleached.
