In this investigation natural Smooth Retama fiber (Telinne Monspessulana) was treated with silane coupling agent vinyl-trimethoxysilane (VTMS). Silane was pre-hydrolyzed in aqueous ethanol /water 80/20 for 1 h, maintaining the pH between 3.0-3.5. Subsequently, the fiber was immersed in the solution of pre-hydrolyzed silane for 3 h. Treated fiber was washed with distilled water and dried for 24 h at 45 °C. Finally, soxhlet extraction was performed to the fiber to remove residual silane. The influence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) catalyst on the silane grafting process with the natural fiber was analyzed. By analyzing infrared spectroscopy FTIR, ash content, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) quantitatively and qualitatively the positive effect of organic peroxide was determined as a catalyst for VTMS.]]></p></abstract>

Se analizó la influencia del catalizador peróxido de dicumilo (DCP) sobre el proceso de injerto del silano con la fibra natural.
