Abstract [en]

Viscose fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP/VF) composites were manufactured using long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) extrusion techniques with two different methods namely LFT-l and LFT-2. The compatibilizer [maleated polypropylene (MAPP)] and dispersing agent [stearic acid (SA)] were added to the PP/VF in order to improve the fiber dispersion and interfacial adhesion. The PP/VF composites manufactured using LFT-2 showed better fiber dispersion with higher tensile and flexural properties compared to the composites manufactured using LFT-1 method. Similarly, the impact strength and toughness of the LET-2 composites showed an improvement of 36 and 20% than LFT-1 whereas the average fiber length of composites was decreased from 6.9mm to 4.4mm because of the increase in shear energy as a result of residence time. Further, the addition of SA and MAPP to LFT-2 process has significantly improved the fiber dispersion and mechanical performance. The fiber dispersion and fracture behavior of the LFT-1 and LFT-2 composites were studied using scanning electron microscopy analysis. The Fourier transformation infrared spectra were also studied to ascertain the existence of type of interfacial bonds
