Abstract
Composites of poly(furfuryl alcohol) grafted onto silica, with differe nt percentage of grafting, have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis and UV/Vis-reflectance spectroscopy. T he size of the silica particles used for the coating procedure is not changed till a percentage of grafting to around 30%. A content of poly mer higher than 35 wt.-% enhances the bonding between the particles du e to the crosslinking of poly(furfuryl alcohol) on the surface with th ose in solution leading to the agglomeration of the particles. A gener al model of cross-linked poly(furfuryl alcohol)-silica composites is s uggested.
