Development of Recycled Polypropylene Matrix Composites Reinforced with Waste Jute Caddies
Source abstract
Abstract
Introduction of reinforcing fillers in RPP matrix help to enhance the properties of the matrix. In this study, waste jute fibers called jute caddies have been used as the filler material to RPP and their properties have been studied. The composites have been prepared by solution impregnation method. A silane coupling agent has been used in two weights (2 and 6 wt%) to enhance the interaction between the non-polar PP and the polar jute fiber wastes. Treatment with 6% VTMO enhanced the mechanical properties significantly. Thermal stability was also enhanced after treatment with coupling agent. SEM investigations revealed the fiber/matrix bond at the interface.
