Modified cocoa pod husk-filled polypropylene composites by using methacrylic acid
(North Carolina State University, 2013-08)
The effect of filler modification using methacrylic acid (MAA) on polypropylene (PP)/cocoa pod husk (CPH) composites was studied. The performances of unmodified and modified PP/CPH composites were analyzed for torque ...
Properties of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites: The effect of acetic acid
(Taylor and Francis Group, LLC, 2012-01)
The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of chitosan content and chemical modification with acetic acid on mechanical and thermal properties of PP/Chitosan. It was found that the tensile strength, ...
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 ...
Properties of low-density polyethylene/palm kernel shell composites: Effect of polyethylene co-acrylic acid
(SAGE Publications, 2013-02)
Palm kernel shell (PKS)-filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites was studied. The polyethylene co-acrylic acid (PEAA) was used as compatibilizer. The tensile properties, thermal analysis, water absorption, and ...
Effects of dynamic vulcanization on thermal properties of calcium carbonate filled polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer composites
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2010-07)
In this study, dynamic vulcanization process was used to improve the thermal properties of calcium carbonate filled composites. The composites were prepared using a Z-blade mixer at 180°C and rotor speed 50rpm. Thermogravimetric ...
Effect of Compatibilizer on Mechanical Properties and Morphology of Clay Filled Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2007-06-09)
The main purpose of incorporating fillers, such as clay into composites of polyolefin is to decrease costs and change the properties. Structural differences between both components give rise to the formation of large filler ...
The effect of compatibilizer on tensile properties, swelling behaviour and morphology of Calcium Carbonate filled Polypropylene/Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer composites
(Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), 2007-11-27)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was used as filler in the polypropylene (PP)/ ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) composites in order to decrease cost and change the properties. The composites were prepared by using a ...
The effects of dynamic vulcanization and compatibilizer on properties of paper sludge-filled polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer composites
(Wiley Periodicals, 2007)
The effects of dynamic vulcanization (DV) and dynamic vulcanization plus compatibilizer (DVC) of paper sludge (PS) filled polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (PP/EPDM) composites on torque development, ...
Thermal analysis of Paper Sludge and Kaolin Filled Polypropylene (PP)/Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpoymer (EPDM) hybrid composites: the effect of MAPP and LICA
(Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, 2006)
Paper sludge, one of cellulosic materials, is a by product during paper manufacture. Polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) hybrid composites were
made using kaolin and paper sludge (PS) filler as ...
The Effect of Coupling Agent on Thermal Properties and Morphology of Paper Sludge Filled Polypropylene (PP)/Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM) Composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2007-06-09)
The paper sludge was used as a filler in PP/EPDM composites and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (3-APE) was used as a coupling agent in this study. The effects of filler loading and 3-APE on the thermal properties and ...
