Kenaf polypropylene composites with high fiber load of 85 wt% were produced using glycerine as a processing aid and maleic anhydride-grafted (MAPP) compatibilizer/coupling agent. Commercially available MAPPs different molecular weights anhydride contents used to determine what properties the important achieve mechanical these highly filled composites. A homo-polymer random-polymer, compared mat...

the influence of maleic anhydride-polypropylene (mapp) (0, 2, 3 and 5%) as a compatibilizer on the wettability of polypropylene/wood flour/glass fiber hybrid composites was studied by using the contact angle determination technique. sample slats with a cross section of 10×70 mm were made by a twin screw extruder. specimens were conditioned at room temperature and the angles between the water dr...

Polypropylene / polystyrene blends containing montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared using a twin screw extruder followed by fiber spinning. The melt intercalation of PP and PS alloys was carried out in the presence of a compatibilizer such as maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene (MPP). The crystallization morphology, thermal behaviors and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) nan...
