Tensile Properties, Water Resistance, and Thermal Properties of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene/Polyvinyl Alcohol/Kenaf Composites: Effect of 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl Methacrylate (TMS) as a Silane Coupling Agent

Composites containing linear low-density polyethylene/polyvinyl alcohol and various loadings of kenaf fiber were prepared using a Haake internal mixer. The loading of kenaf fiber varied from 10 to 40 parts per hundred resin (phr). The coupling agent 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMS) was e...
