Effect Of Coupling Agent On Mechanical Properties Of Composite From Kenaf And Recycled Polypropylene

This study shows the effect of using Maleated polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling agent on composites of RPP/kenaf fibre. Grinded fibre was compounded into recycled polypropylene with and without MAPP using a twin-screw compounder. The incorporated fibres in the composites were up to 50 wt%. T...
