Flow behaviour and viscoelasticity of polypropylene-kaolin composites extruded at different temperatures
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2011-07)
A study of kaolin addition in polypropylene (PP-kaolin) melt was carried out to characterize its flow behaviour and viscoelasticity at different temperatures. The compound of 20 wt% kaolin was prepared by melt mixing using ...
Study on effect of filler loading on the flow and swelling behaviors of polypropylene‐kaolin composites using single‐screw extruder
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2011-01)
Melt flow and extrudate swelling behavior of polypropylene-kaolin (PP-Kaolin) composites were investigated using a single-screw extruder. Kaolin was mixed with polypropylene (PP) using a heated two-roll mill at 185°C and ...
Chemical modification of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites: The effect of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane on mechanical and thermal properties
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2011-01)
Chitosan was used as filler in polypropylene (PP) polymer. In order to improve compatibility between chitosan and PP, chitosan was chemically modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APE). The results show that the ...
Composite cement reinforced coconut fiber: physical and mechanical properties and fracture behavior
(INSInet Publications, 2011)
This research paper reports the effect of natural fiber content on the physical and mechanical properties as well as fracture behavior of composite cement reinforced with coconut fiber. The mix design was based on 1:1 for ...
Tensile properties of kenaf/unsaturated polyester composites filled with a montmorillonite filler
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2011-03-05)
Kenaf/unsaturated polyester composites filled with montmorillonite (MMT) filler were produced. Overall, the study showed that, for samples with kenaf filler only, the strength properties decreased as the kenaf filler loading ...
Properties of recycled polyethylene/chitosan composites: The effect of polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride
(SAGE Publications, 2011-02)
The surface of recycled polyethylen (RPE)/chitosan composites was modified with polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (MAPE). The mechanical properties, water absorption, morphology, and thermal properties were investigated. ...
