Structure property and deformation analysis of polypropylene montmorillonite nanocomposites.
… results and the influence of a sharp notch in polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. A fixed concentration of maleated polypropylene (mPP) was utilized as a compatibilizer between the MLS and non-polar PP. Analysis of transmission electron micrographs and X-ray diffraction patterns on the surface …

Manufacturing and Evaluation of Kenaf/Polypropylene Honeycomb Cores
… cores manufactured from very thin extruded kenaf/polypropylene sheets is presented here. The manufacturing process involves production of flat composite sheets using an extruder, thermoforming the flat sheets into half-hexagonal corrugations and joining of the corrugations using an ultrasonic …

Bonding of additives to functional polyolefins by reactive blending
… to conventional non-bonded systems for use in polypropylene. An ethylene ionomer was utilised for the bonding of dyes, this was chosen for its optical clarity and chemical functionality. Polyethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA) ionomers and methine dyes were blended in the melt phase using an …

Processing of Hemp Fibre Using Enzyme/Fungal Treatment for Composites
… the hemp fibre and thermoplastics such as polypropylene is a major factor in the mechanical properties of the composite. Interfacial bonding can be improved by modifications to the fibres, the matrix or both the fibres and the matrix. The aim of this thesis was to investigate low cost and …
