Study of mechanical and flammability properties of polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose composites filled with nano-sized aluminium hydroxide (ATH) particles

The mechanical and flame properties of polypropylene/ microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites containing different loading of aluminium hydroxide (ATH) nanoparticles from 3 to 20wt% was studied. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used as a coupling agent in the composites. The...
