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 ...
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. ...
Static and dynamic compressive properties of mica/polypropylene composites
(Elsevier B. V., 2011-01-25)
The static and dynamic properties of mica/polypropylene composites, with a mica content of 10, 15, 20% by weight, were studied at different levels of strain rates (from 10s-4 to 10s2), using a conventional Universal Testing ...
