Rheological Behaviour of Polypropylene/Kenaf Fibre/Wood Flour Hybrid Composite
Author(s):
Abstract:
The hybridization of two types of short fibres having different lengths and diameters offers some advantages compared to each fibre being used alone in a single polymer matrix. In this study, the polypropylene/kenaf fibre/wood flour hybrid composites were prepared in an internal mixer. The temperature was 190ºC and rotor speed was 60 rpm. The system was compatibilized by polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride. Based on dimensional aspects before and after processing, the kenaf as fibrous filler and wood flour as particulate filler were considered. The weight ratio of lignocellosic fillers was 40%. Dynamic rheological properties such as storage modulus, complex viscosity, damping factor were evaluated at 190ºC. It was observed that, the non-linearity region of hybrid composites shifted to lower strains compared to virgin polypropylene. Due to higher probability of agglomerates formation in the sample containing 40% (by wt) of wood flour, the storage modulus and complex viscosity of this sample were higher than those of the other samples. A flattened section was observed n the tan δ diagram which is attributed to different relaxation processes of composite nd neat PP. The Cole-Cole diagrams of samples showed that the relaxation times hifted to higher values with the addition of fillers and the longest relaxation times were elated to composites with pure wood flour.
