Effects of filler content and various coupling agents on properties of polypropylene/cocoa pod husk biocomposites
Chemical modification plays an important role in enhancing interfacial adhesion in thermoplastic biocomposites. In this study, the cocoa pod husk (CPH) filled polypropylene (PP) biocomposites were prepared using Brabender ... -
Investigation on thermal-mechanical degradation, rheological and mechanical properties of polypropylene-ethylene/silica composites
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Materials Engineering, 2016-06)The thermal-mechanical degradation resulting from heated two roll mill of silica filled polypropylene-ethylene (PPE) composites was investigated. The influence of processing temperature and silica loading was studied and ... -
Study on thermoplastic cassava starch modifications via chemical, photo and irradiation induced crosslinking
The characterization of modified thermoplastic starch (TPS) was investigated by means of mechanical properties, thermal properties, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high ... -
Thermo-mechanical properties of Napier particles filled polyester polymer
In recent years, the incorporation of natural fibers as reinforcing agent in polymer composite has gained increasing interest which enhances optimal utilization of natural resources and particularly of renewable resources. ...
