POLYPROPYLENE COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH RICE STRAW MICRO/NANO FIBRILS ISOLATED BY HIGH INTENSITY ULTRASONICATION

Rice straw (Oryza sativa L.) pulp was treated by high intensity ultrasonication to make fibrils. The rice straw fibril (RSF) material was used as reinforcement in an RSF/polypropylene (PP) composite. The influences of RSF and coupling agent (MAPP) contents on tensile properties of the composite were...
