Water Absorption and Tensile Strength of Coconut Filter Fibers/Polypropylene Composites

Abstract:

In this study, we evaluated water absorption and tensile properties of coconut filter fiber reinforced polypropylene composites. The fibers were subjected to various immersion times for 0.5, 1, and 3 h in 0.5 % acrylic acid solution at room temperature and 0.5 h at 70 oC. The treated fibers were used as reinforcement of polypropylene composites. Water absorption of treated fiber composites was lower than those of untreated fiber composite. Boiling in water significantly affect water absorption rate of the composites. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of treated fiber are higher than untreated fiber. They show a decrease in tendency when the immersion time increased. Tensile strength and elastic modulus of composites with AA-treated at 70 oC fiber are the highest.
