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, ...
Effects of natural weathering on properties of recycled newspaper-filled polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) composites
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)
Natural weathering has been applied to investigate the properties of recycled newspaper (RNP)-filled polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) composites. Three sizes of RNP (11 mm, 23 mm, and 53 mm) were used in this study. ...
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 ...
Effect of inorganic fillers on the flammability behavior of polypropylene composites
(SAGE Publications, 2007)
This report summarizes the effect of various inorganic fillers such as alumina (-Al2O3), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), silica (SiO2), and feldspar (KAlSi3O8) on the flammability behavior of polypropylene (PP) composites. The ...
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 ...
The Effect of Porosity on Thermal Conductivity of Silicon Carbide Filled Polyproplyene Composite
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2007-06-09)
Silicon carbide filled Polypropylene (PP) composites are fabricated, where the compounding is carried out by using Z-blade mixer with filler loadings of 0wt%, 10wt%, 20wt% and 30wt%. Composite sheets produced from hot press ...
Studies on properties of Molybdenum filed Polypropylene composites
(Institut Teknologi Brunei, 2008-11-03)
Molybdenum filled polypropylene (PP/Mo) composites were prepared by using the Z-blade
mixer at processing temperature 190°C and a speed of 35rpm with different filler loading
varying between 0% and 40% by weight. A ...
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 ...
