Effects of Irradiated Recycled Polypropylene Compatibilizer on the Mechanical Properties of Microcrystalline Cellulose Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene Composites

Characterization of Laccase-Treated Kenaf Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene Composites

Raw and laccase-treated kenaf fibre (KF) were used individually to reinforce recycled polypropylene (RPP) using extrusion and injection moulding. Laccase was used to modify the surface of the fibre to improve the compatibility between fibre and matrix. Enzyme concentration and soaking time were considered as the treatment parameters. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used with a...

Development of Stearic Acid Coated Fly Ash Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene Matrix Composites and their Thermal Analysis

The industrial wastes fly ash (FA) and polypropylene (PP) were used to develop novel green composites using a renewable, cheap coupling agent i.e. stearic acid. The fly ash (FA) particles were coated with stearic acid (SA) in different weight % like 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5. The SA coated fly ash particles were incorporated as filler in recycled polypropylene (RPP) matrix which was obtained from post-c...

Biofiber-Reinforced Polypropylene Composites

Biofibers. natural lignocellulosics, have an outstanding potential a s a reinforcement in thermoplastics. This study deals with the preparation of lignocellulosic composites by reactive extrusion processing in which good interfacial adhesion is generated by a combination of fiber modification and matrix modification methods. PP matrix was modified by reacting with maleic anhydride and subsequen...
