Abstract
Abstract Polymer composites can be made from cellulosic & polymeric matrix, which may be thermoplastic or thermosetting, or rubber. The cellulosic material is grafted with isocyanate bonding agent and may be mixed with prebonded inorganic filler with a bonding agent. Furthermore, said bonded inorganic filler can be added to polymer composites filled with cellulosic fibers grafted with silylating agent. These polymer composites are useful for most plastic articles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
44 words
A composite material comprising a synthetic polymeric or copolymeric material or rubber, and an organic material selected from the group consisting of cellulosic or starch material, wherein said cellulosic or starch material is essentially grafted by a free radical generating process with isocyanate agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
44 words
A composite material comprising a synthetic polymeric or copolymeric material or rubber, and an organic material selected from the group consisting of cellulosic or starch material, wherein said cellulosic or starch material is essentially grafted by a free radical generating process with isocyanate agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composite material of claim 1, wherein polymeric or copolymeric substance is selected from the group consisting of linear low density polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyvinylchloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The composite material of claim 1, wherein the cellulosic material is selected from the group consisting of chemicalthermomechanical wood pulp derived from aspen, birch or spruce and semichemical pulp of bagasse.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The composite material of claim 1, which additionally comprises an inorganic filler consisting of a compound containing hydroxyl group, clay, calcium carbonate, asbestos, sand, wollastonite, quartz, glass fibers, mica, hydrated or partially hydrated metal oxides, metal powders, metal compounds, carbon and graphite.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composite material of claim 4, wherein said inorganic filler material is bonded with a bonding agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The composite material of claim 1, wherein the organic material is mixed with inorganic filler material prebonded with a bonding agent, wherein said bonding agent is selected from isocyanates, silylates, zirconates, titanates and stearates.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The composite material of claim 1, wherein the cellulosic material whether mixed or not with inorganic filler, comprises 1-99 wt. % based on the total weight of the composite.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
The composite material of claim 1, wherein the cellulosic material is grafted with isocyanate agent by a free radical generating process prior to incorporating same into the polymeric matrix material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composite material of claim 8, wherein the isocyanate agent is selected from polymethylene polyphenylisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenylmethane di-isocyanate, 1,6 hexamethylene di-isocyanate, 2,4 toluene di-isocyanate, or their oligomers.
