This study separated and treated successfully micro-cellulose fibers from petioles of Vietnamese nipa palm tree (tCell) by simple mechanical and chemical methods. The combination of the treated micro-cellulose fibers and reduced-graphene oxide by hydrazine hydrate (tCell-RGO) increases the thermal stability and the glass transition temperature of polymethylmathacrylat (PMMA) in synthesis composite by in situ emulsion method. The study improves the environmental friendliness of PMMA and overcome the disadvantages of low thermal decomposition of cellulose in preparation of polymer composites, especially kinds of heat-stable polymers as PMMA.
