Modifiers for Glass Fiber-reinforced Polypropylene and Polyamide

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Mechanical Properties Enhancement by Adhesion Improvement

Glass fibers (GF) are the reinforcement agent most used in polypropylene (PP) based composites, as they have good balance between properties and costs. However, their final properties are mainly determined by the strength and stability of the polymer-fiber interphase. Fibers do not act as an effective reinforcing material when the adhesion is weak. Also, the adhesion between phases can be easil...

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete - A Review

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete is an embryonic construction material which can be described as a concrete having high mechanical strength, Stiffness and durability. By utilization of Polypropylene fibers in concrete not only optimum utilization of materials is achieved but also the cost reduction is achieved. This paper presents a comprehensive review on various aspects Polypropylene F...

Mechanical properties of polypropylene-fiber reinforced concrete after gamma irradiation

Fiber reinforced concretes (FRCs) exhibit property improvement caused by the fibers. By using gamma radiation we have further improved mechanical properties of hydraulic concretes elaborated with Portland cement, water, silica sand, marble and polypropylene (PP) fibers. Compression strength, compression modulus, impact strength and dynamic elastic modulus were determined. Impact fatigue testing...

Polypropylene /Polystyrene in situ nano reinforced blends fiber: Morphology and properties

Polypropylene / polystyrene blends containing montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared using a twin screw extruder followed by fiber spinning. The melt intercalation of PP and PS alloys was carried out in the presence of a compatibilizer such as maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene (MPP). The crystallization morphology, thermal behaviors and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) nan...
