摘要: In this work, composites of an EVA polymer matrix and short sisal fiber were characterized. The physical‐morphological as well as chemical interactions between EVA and sisal were investigated. When the samples were prepared in the presence of dicumyl peroxide, the results suggest that crosslinking of EVA as well as grafting between EVA and the sisal fibers took place. Morphological changes were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results from Hg‐porosimetry, SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, surface free …
