Influences of Surface Modification of Vetiver Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
Abstract: Plant-drive vetiver fiber (VF), a significant lignocellulosic fiber, can be included in polymers like polypropylene (PP) in dissimilar ways for attaining preferred features and structure. But its high levels of moisture absorption, poor wettability and inadequate adherence between the fiber and polymer matrix result in debonding with age. To develop the overhead attributes,adequate surface modifications are essential. In our current work, the VF surface was modified by mercerized treatment (MVF), …
