“THE EFFECT OF FLY-ASH ON STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF FLY-ASH “Based Polymer Composites”
Keywords:
FTIR, SEM, AFM, PS, FA.Abstract
In this study the effect of fly-ash on surface morphology of different type of fly ash reinforced polystyrene composites have been investigated. FTIR spectra of pure polystyrene pure fly ash and fly ash based composites have been observed and analyzed. The shifting of parent peaks were observed in composite films.The shifting may come from the results of physical bonding between polystyrene and fly ash.SEM and AFM analysis is done to observe surface morphology and it confirms the presence of fly ash particles in polystyrene matrix. The AFM images confirm the presence of fly ash particle in Nano phase within PS matrix.References
