The Reinforcing Effect of Sugar Palm Fiber on PP

Natural fibers have the ability to reinforce polymeric materials. In this work, sugar palm were added as a reinforcement agent polypropylene (PP) matrix form biocomposites. Flexural strength measurement in accordance with ASTM D790-17 was carried out on PP composites fiber content changed from 0 30 wt.% 5 steps. The flexural data show composition dependence maxima (52.09 MPa) obtained 15 fibers. Sugarcane bagasse-PP composite together wood board and neat existing materials by automotive industry used reference material study. This fiber-PP offer lower density comparison PP. area of is range 1285-1635 g/m2 for studied while 1466 1700 respectively.
