Effects of Silane Coupling Agent on Mechanical Properties and Swelling Behaviour of Coconut Fiber Filled Polypropylene Composite

Silane treatment used to improve mechanical properties and swelling behaviour of polypropylene/coconut fiber (PP/CF) composites by creating more adherent bonding between CF filler and PP Matrix. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APE) treated and untreated composites were prepared in formulation of 10...
