“…Haque et al [23] studied the fatigue life of composites and noted that the composites which had been mixed with MAPO (Maleic anhydride and peroxide) had a lower fatigue life, while those without MAPO had a higher fatigue life. Moreover, Vardai et al [24], were of the view that the interfacial bond strength improved upon the addition of MAPP (Maleic anhydride modified polypropylene).…”

The study aimed to investigate the flexural mechanical properties, thermal and morphological properties of polypropylene composites reinforced with cellulose and glass particles. Polypropylene lacks sufficient strength and stiffness for many applications. By reinforcing it with cellulose and glass particles, the study aims to enhance these mechanical properties, addressing the need for stronger and more durable materials. These composites are likely to find applications in the automotive industry where light weight, strong and heat resistant materials are needed for bumpers, dashboards, and interior trims. Additionally, these composites can be used for consumer goods where strong and lightweight materials are needed for various consumer products like furniture, sporting goods, and appliances. The use of the Finite Element Analysis to explore the properties of the cellulosic composites was done. Additionally, the experimental method was used to validate the results of FEA. The injection moulding process was used to fabricate the specimens for this study. The specimens were then characterized for their thermal behavior, morphology, and flexural properties. The thermal properties that were performed were the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, the morphology of the fabricated samples was examined using the Scanning Electron Microscopy. The composites were fabricated at filler volume fractions ranging from 0% to 50%. The flexural strength of both the wood powder/ PP composites and the hybrid composites were found to be maximum for a filler volume fraction of 40% exhibiting 796.44 MPa and 1692.951 MPa, respectively. The research also noted from TGA that the melting temperature of all the fabricated samples were in the range of 150ºC to 160ºC. The glass transition temperature of neat polypropylene was around -20ºC.

“…10 The perfect combination of these two materials, that is, polymer and wood powder, in distinct contents can give rise new systems with superior improvement completely and different from those original ones. 11 Research focused on PP/wood powder composites are found in the scientific literature, [12][13][14][15][16][17] emphasizing their main applications as also mechanical, thermal, thermomechanical, and morphological properties. However, despite being a prominent topic, articles concerned on processing and development of PP/Jatoba ´(reused powder) are seldom viewed.…”

Large waste amounts from wood industries as powder and sawdust are daily produced, and reusing these materials otherwise would be discharged to the environment has become an economically viable and environmentally friendly alternative to produce new materials. Based on these arguments, polypropylene (PP)/Jatobá wood powder composites upon addition of two types of PP were processed in a corotational twin screw extruder; specimens were injected and molded and their characterization was performed through differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, mechanical properties (impact, tensile, flexural, and hardness), heat deflection temperature (HDT), Vicat softening temperature, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Increased elastic modulus, shore D hardness, HDT, and Vicat related to neat PPs were reached. Nevertheless, losses in impact and tensile strength as well as in elongation at break were also verified. These lower data may be associated with the wood agglomeration, as shown in SEM images. Apparently, the investigated properties were not affected by PP viscosities, where both of them presented similar data. Summing up, presented results can be considered commercially feasible, focusing at economic and environmental benefits while producing higher performance products.
