Dato' Prof. Dr. icalamri@gmail.com irsalmah@unimap.edu.my kamarudin@unimap.edu.my Polymer-matrix composites Mechanical properties Thermal properties Surface treatments Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.elsevier.com/ This work investigates the effects of the binary modifying agents-organosolv lignin and acrylic acid, on the mechanical and thermal properties of chitosan-filled polypropylene (PP) composites. We analyse the mechanical and the thermal properties of the composites by means of ASTM D 638-91, ASTM D 256, thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Tensile strength of the composites decreases upon the addition of chitosan, but Young's modulus improves. Impact strength is found to increase with the maximum value at 30 php. The chemical modifications do not alter the stress-strain character or the thermal degradation mechanism of the composites considerably; however the results of this study show that the treated composites are found to have better mechanical and thermal properties than untreated composites. Furthermore, the obtained results are comparable to results from previous work. This outcome implies that organosolv lignin could be a potential reagent to partially replace its synthetic counterpart. 2013-02-16T03:04:07Z 2013-02-16T03:04:07Z 2013 Article Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, vol.46(1), 2013, pages 89-95 1359-835X http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359835X12003338 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/23603 en Elsevier B.V. |
