BIOCOMPOSITES FROM ABACA STRANDS AND POLYPROPYLENE: EFFECT OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT BY STEARIC ACID
Unidirectional composites of polypropylene (PP), reinforced with abaca fiber was fabricated by compression molding with and without the presence of stearic acid (SA) as a coupling agent. Raw abaca fiber was utilized and four levels of filler loading (10, 20, 30 and 40 wt%) were used during compo...
