Improvement of Mechanical Properties in Bamboo Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polypropylene/Polypropylene Composite Enhanced with Resin Impregnation Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Previously bamboo fiber reinforced PP composites was manufactures using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and Phenolic resin for Resin impregnated bamboo fiber with polypropylene (PP). Using 40% weight fraction of bamboo fiber in PP matrix, PVA impregnated composites with mean flexural and tensile strength 10% higher than untreated were produced. The PVA treatment improved the tensile and flexural strength of bamboo/PP composites and increased water absorption ratio. Next, matrix modified with Maleic Anhydride grafted Polypropylene (MAPP). For matrix PP mixed with 10% of MAPP. In this study, resin impregnation method dose not make different for mechanical properties of composites. Untreated and PVA, Phnolic resin impregnated mechanical properties was almost same. However; it can decreased water absorption PVA resin absorption bamboo fiber composites.
