Fracture Toughness of Treated OPEFB Filled Polymer Nanocomposites at Different Clay Loading

Abstract:

Two different clay loadings were added to OPEFB/PP/MAPP which was 7 phr and 10 phr in order to see its effect on the fracture toughness. Standard dimension of samples was prepared for 180 μm, 355 μm and 355 μm treated with 1% NaOH. The result showed that 7 phr clay contents had the highest fracture toughness of 1.16 MPa.m^1/2. Alkali treatment on OPEFB fiber gave 7% improvement of fracture toughness for samples with 7 phr PPnanoclay loading. SEM images show the improvement of bonding between the fibers and the matrix upon alkali treatment.
