Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Surface Modified Cellulose Utilizing TGA-MS

With the aim to enhance interfacial adhesion of a hydrophobic polymer matrix and cellulosic fibers and fillers, chemical surface modifications with silane coupling agents are performed. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) could be used to determine the degree of surface functionalization. However, simi...
