Abstract

The composite foams consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and hemp stem powder (HSP) are prepared by melt mixing and compressing molding. Morphology of the samples is evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and rheological properties evaluated with Haake rheometer. The effects of HSP content on quick drying and mechanical properties are studied, and the mechanism is explored. When the HSP content is 10$\sim$20 phr, the materials have the best overall performance because a proper amount of HSP can improve cell morphology, strengthen, toughen the matrix, and give the materials quick drying performance.
