Mechanical and physical properties of araucaria fibre-polypropylene composite / Jamaludin Kasim, Wan Nazri Wan Abd Rahman and Suriana Husin

Araucaria hunsteneii fibres were used as fillers in the manufacturing of wood fibre-polypropylene composite. Fibre content of 5, 10, 15 and 20% and a MAPP addition of 3% were used in the study. The results indicate that fibre content significantly affected the mechanical and water absorption pro...

description Araucaria hunsteneii fibres were used as fillers in the manufacturing of wood fibre-polypropylene composite. Fibre content of 5, 10, 15 and 20% and a MAPP addition of 3% were used in the study. The results indicate that fibre content significantly affected the mechanical and water absorption properties while with MAPP addition no significant improvement was observed. Araucaria hunsteneii fibres could be used as fillers in the manufacturing of thermoplastic composite.
