Physico-Mechanical Performance of Waste Plant Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites for Automotive Applications
Abstract: To maximize the interfacial bond strength, it is necessary to investigate the direct relationship between the degree of fiber-matrix adhesion and the mechanical and fracture behavior of composites. In this work, the strength of the interfacial bond between polypropylene (PP) and waste plant fiber (Dharose plant fiber, DF) that have been subjected to ultraviolet radiation (UV) was established. By using hot press molding, unidirectional composites of PP with dharose plant …
