Abstract:The present study is on the production and characterization of untreated and treated Urenalobata (U. lobata) fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites. The untreated and treated U. lobata /PP composites were produced by compression moulding at varying weight percents of the fibers (5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35) wt%. The following characterizations were carried out on the treated and untreated U. lobata/PP composites; X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning elect… Show more
