The composite was introduced with 3wt % of maleated anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) as compatibilizer. The composites were characterized by performing tensile test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Results indicated that, the present of PP-g-MAH improved the tensile strength as the increasing of treated filler content. The improvement properties of the composite were attributed to better interfacial adhesion between the PFF and PP matrix in the presence of the PP-g-MAH. As for the overall results,5wt% TPFF/PP/PP-g-MAH composite shows the highest value tensile strength, 20wt% TPFF/PP/PP-g-MA composite exhibits the highest in Young's modulus. While from the observation through SEM, the smooth surface fractured of 5wt% TPFF/PP/PP-g-MA which indicated as high rigidity compare to the other ratios. 2014-05-15T02:01:09Z 2014-05-15T02:01:09Z 2013-03 Article Advanced Materials Research, vol. 795, 2013, pages 281-285 978-303785811-0 1022-6680 http://www.scientific.net/AMR.795.281 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34421 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.795.281 en Trans Tech Publications |
