Influence of Surgarcane Bagasse Fibers with Modified Surface on Polypropylene Composites

Sugarcane bagasse fibers were pre-treated with sulfuric acid solution to improve the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) composites for automotive parts. It was used maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) as coupling agent. Fibers were characterized by the techniques of scanning el...
