Effect of coupling agent on mechanical properties of composite from microcrystalline cellulose and recycled polypropylene

Effect of coupling agent on mechanical properties of composite from microcrystalline cellulose and recycled polypropylene

This study shows the effect of using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) as coupling agent on composite of RPP/MCC fiber. The compositions of MCC were varied from 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12 wt%. The compounded samples were prepared into test specimens by us...
