Effect of Halloysite Nanotube on Mechanical Properties, Thermal Stability and Morphology of Polypropylene and Polypropylene/Short Kenaf Fibers Hybrid Biocomposites

Effect of Halloysite Nanotube on Mechanical Properties, Thermal Stability and Morphology of Polypropylene and Polypropylene/Short Kenaf Fibers Hybrid Biocomposites

In this article, the effect of the addition of halloysite nanotube (HNT) on the mechanical and thermal stability of polypropylene (PP) and PP/kenaf fiber biocomposites has been investigated. Different volume contents of HNTs ranging from 1 to 10 vol.% were melt mixed with PP and PP/kenaf fibers. The...
