It was found that the tensile strength, elongation at break and crystallinity of untreated PP/Chitosan composites decreased with increasing filler content; however, Young's modulus and thermal stability increased. The treated chitosan with acetic acid have improved the tensile strength and Young's modulus of PP/Chitosan composites. The thermal analysis results show that chemical modified chitosan had increase thermal stability and crystallinity of treated PP/Chitosan composites. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study of the tensile fracture surface of treated PP/Chitosan composites indicated that the presence of acetic acid increased the interfacial interaction between chitosan and polypropylene matrix 2014-01-29T08:05:00Z 2014-01-29T08:05:00Z 2012-01 Article Polymer - Plastics Technology and Engineering, vol 51(1), 2012, pages 86-91 0360-2559 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03602559.2011.618156#.Uui0aD2wr4Z http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/31598 en Taylor and Francis Group, LLC
