- W1971549241 abstract "As industry attempts to lessen the dependence on petroleum based fuels and products there is an increasing need to investigate more environmentally friendly, sustainable materials to replace existing materials. This study focused on the fabrication of kenaf fiber reinforced polypropylene sheets that could be thermoformed for a wide variety of applications with properties that are comparable to existing synthetic composites. The research done in this study has proven the ability to successfully fabricate kenaf–polypropylene natural fiber composites into sheet form. The optimal fabrication method for these materials was determined to be a compression molding process utilizing a layered sifting of a microfine polypropylene powder and chopped kenaf fibers. A fiber content of both 30% and 40% by weight has been proven to provide adequate reinforcement to increase the strength of the polypropylene powder. The use of a coupling agent, 3% Epolene enabled successful fiber–matrix adhesion. The kenaf–PP composites compression molded in this study proved to have superior tensile and flexural strength when compared to other compression molded natural fiber composites such as other kenaf, sisal, and coir reinforced thermoplastics. With the elastic modulus data from testing, it was also possible to compare the economic benefits of using this kenaf composite over other natural fibers and E-glass. The kenaf–maleated polypropylene composites manufactured in this study have a higher Modulus/Cost and a higher specific modulus than sisal, coir, and even E-glass thereby providing an opportunity for replacing existing materials with a higher strength, lower cost alternative that is environmentally friendly." @default.
