Investigation on Morphological and Mechanical Properties of Coupling Agents on Baggass Polypropylene Composites

The main objective of this research was to study the potential of bagasse fibers as reinforcement for thermoplastics as an alternative to wood fibers. The effects of three grades (Eastman G-3003, G-3015 and G-3216) of coupling agents on the mechanical properties were also studied. In the sample prep...
