The effects of particle size and content on Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Rice Straw and Coal Fly Ash filled-Polypropylene Composites

Abstract

Polypropylene is a superior type of polymer due to its properties including flexibility, semi-transparent appearance, easily dyed, heat-retaining and hydrophobia. The percentage of recycled polypropylene is minimal which cause environmental pollution. To overcome the environmental problems caused by polypropylene waste, it can be utilized to produce efficient and economically-added product such as thermal insulation composites. The paper is focused on obtaining the technique and operating condition of injection molding to manufacture composite from polypropylene matrix, the influence of composition and particle size of fillers on composite mechanical properties.
