The composites were prepared with Z-blade mixer at 180°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The poly(methyl methacrylate) modified water hyacinth fibers in LDPE/NR composites (LDPE/NR/WHF-PMMA) gave a greater value of tensile strength, Young's modulus, glass transition temperature (Tg), melting temperature (Tm), and % crystallinity compared to unmodified water hyacinth fibers in LDPE/NR composites (LDPE/NR/WHF). FTIR analysis shows the presence of ester carbonyl group and C-O ester group in poly (methyl methacrylate) modified water hyacinth fiber. The SEM micrograph also shows a better interfacial adhesion between the fibers and LDPE/NR matrixes for LDPE/NR/WHF-PMMA composites than LDPE/NR/WHF composites. LDPE/NR/WHF-PMMA composites had a lower value of interparticle spacing compared to LDPE/NR/WHF composites thatenhanced the interparticle interaction between fiber and LDPE/NR matrixes. 2011-10-04T12:41:26Z 2011-10-04T12:41:26Z 2011 Article Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, vol. 50 (9), 2011, pages 898-906 0360-2559 (Print) 1525-6111 (Online) http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03602559.2011.551981#preview http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/14010 en Taylor & Francis Group
