  Abstract: Waste red mud (RM) serves as a low-cost and sustainable filler material in a polypropylene (PP) matrix. This study investigate the effects of different red mud contents on the dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene-red mud (RM-PP) composites where red mud levels range from 0% to 40% (based on weight percentage). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was conducted for verifying the presence of both polypropylene and red mud in …
