“…Authors compared nano-kenaf and kenaf reinforced PP compounds and reported nano-kenaf filled system exhibited higher mechanical properties than natural kenaf filled one due to large surface area contact with polymer and less impurities compared to micro-kenaf fiber. [20,21] …”

“…The elimination of volatile extractives implicates removal of impurities on fiber surface; however, some residue impurities in undestroyed kenaf channel may not clearly removed, thus this migrated out on the fiber surface later on and leads to poor interfacial adhesion between the fiber and the PP. [20,21] The SEM photographs showed the addition of MA-g-PP on both nano-kenaf and micron-kenaf fiber increased interfacial adhesion with PP. The coupling efficiency of MA-g-PP with nano-kenaf was better than with the micron-kenaf (see Figure 8).…”

To cite this article: Kwang-Jea Kim (2015): Modification of nano-kenaf surface with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene upon improved mechanical properties of polypropylene composite, Composite Interfaces,The surface of nano-kenaf fiber is modified with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA-g-PP) and added into PP and the mechanical properties and the flow property of the composite are investigated. The addition of MA-g-PP in nano-kenaf/PP composite increases the tensile strength, the elongation%, and the impact strength (I.S.), while it decreases the flow property (melt flow index) compared to without MA-g-PP composite (nano-kenaf/PP). The scanning electron microscope photograph shows it also increases interfacial adhesion between nano-kenaf and PP matrix. Regardless of MA-g-PP, nano-kenaf fibers shows better adhesion with PP compared to micron-kenaf fibers. Addition of MA-g-PP further improved interfacial adhesion between nano-kenaf surface and PP matrix compared to without MA-g-PP nano-kenaf compound. The addition of MA-g-PP apparently improves the interfacial adhesion between nano-kenaf surface and PP by formation of 3-dimensional network structure.

The surface of nano-kenaf containing cellulose fibers was treated with alkali (NaOH) and their effects on the physical properties of the polypropylene (PP) composite were investigated. The treatment of alkali on the fibers increased the melt flow index (M.I.), elongation%, and impact strength, while it decreased the tensile strength, flexural modulus and heat deflection temperature (HDT) of the compound compared to the untreated one. It seemed the alkali treatment on the nano-kenaf fiber changed the character of the fiber due to removal of impurities and chemicals on the surface and resulted in decreased interfacial adhesion between the nano-fiber surface and the PP matrix and changed the character of the PP.
