Effect Of Coupling Agent On Mechanical Properties Of Composite From Kenaf And Recycled Polypropylene
This study shows the effect of using Maleated polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling agent on composites of RPP/kenaf fibre. Grinded fibre was compounded into recycled polypropylene with and without MAPP using a twin-screw compounder. The incorporated fibres in the composites were up to 50 wt%. T...

| description | This study shows the effect of using Maleated polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling
agent on composites of RPP/kenaf fibre. Grinded fibre was compounded into recycled
polypropylene with and without MAPP using a twin-screw compounder. The
incorporated fibres in the composites were up to 50 wt%. The compounded samples
were prepared into test specimens by injection moulder. The composites were
characterized by tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM), melt flow index (MFI).
Incorporation of coupling agent had shown better result than that of without coupling
agent to a certain level of fibre loading. |
