In this work, palm kernel shell-filled maleated polypropylene composites and palm kernel shell/nanosilica-filled maleated polypropylene hybrid composites were produced using a Brabender Internal Mixer. The results showed that the usage of the two types of filler in the PP matrix enhanced the tensile strength, elongation at break, and impact strength but reduced the tensile modulus of the PP composites. Thermal studies confirmed that the improved nucleating ability of the hybrid fillers contributed to the superb mechanical properties of the hybrid composites. A lower percentage of water absorption was observed in hybrid composites compared to the palm kernel shell/PP composite system. 2014-05-14T10:35:25Z 2014-05-14T10:35:25Z 2013-05 Article BioResources, vol. 8(2), 2013, pages 1539-1550 1930-2126 http://ojs.cnr.ncsu.edu/index.php/BioRes/article/view/BioRes_08_2_1539_Mohaiyiddin_Palm_Kernel http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34419 en North Carolina State University
