Effect of Surface Modification on the Properties of Polypropylene Matrix Reinforced with Coir Fibre and Yam Peel Particulate

Polypropylene composites reinforced with coir fibre and yam peel particulate were produced using compression moulding machine. Treated untreated fibres used; 1.5 M NaOH was used for the treated fibres. Yam grouped into two, untreated; modified 1 solution of HCl in proportion 30% 70%, respectively. The which sun-dried 14 days pulverized sieved to ?45 µm. Samples developed reinforcements (TCF/YPP UCF/YPP) at constant (15%) varied amount (2, 4, 6, 8 wt.%). hybrid composite samples probed mechanical properties thermal wear behaviour. level particles agglomeration fibre-matrix interface examined scanning electron microscope. results show that sample 4 wt.% had optimum properties. However, conductivity increased addition. All better resistance abrasion when compared control sample.
