The present investigation highlights the feasibility of a polymer grafting process to enhance the durability and flame retardancy of rice straw towards application as a low cost roofing material. The success of this grafting methodology was perceived to depend upon a bi-step pre-treatment process encompassing delignification and inorganic salts dispersion. Subsequently free radical polymer graf...

various morphologies of silica nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted pechini method. silica nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between tetra ethyl ortho silicate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in pechini procedure. then for preparation of polymer-matrix nanocomposites, sio2 nanoparticles were added to poly carbonate (pc) and poly...
