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, ...
Mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of coconut fibre-based green composites
(Foundation for Materials Science and Engineering “Serban Solacolu”, 2012)
This paper presents the influence of natural fibre content on the mechanical properties of coconut fibre based-green composites. The mixture ratio of cement:sand by weight was fixed at 1:1. Coconut fibre was used as ...
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 ...
Effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate on mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene/chitosan composites
(SAGE Publications, 2013-08)
The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on mechanical and thermal properties of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites was investigated. Mechanical and thermal properties of PP/chitosan composites were analyzed ...
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 ...
