A Study on water absorption and thickness swelling behavior of wood flour/glass fiber hybrid composites

This research focused on the influence of content (5, 10 and 15 %) of glass fiber on the water absorption and thickness swelling of wood flour/E-glass fiber hybrid polypropylene composites without and with MAPP. The samples (strips with 10 mm thickness and 70 mm width) were made using a laboratory t...

Sumario:This research focused on the influence of content (5, 10 and 15 %) of glass fiber on the water absorption and thickness swelling of wood flour/E-glass fiber hybrid polypropylene composites without and with MAPP. The samples (strips with 10 mm thickness and 70 mm width) were made using a laboratory twin-screw extruder. The water absorption and thickness swelling of the composites after 2h and 24h were determined. The results showed that adding glass fiber significantly increase water absorption and thickness swelling after 2h and 24h in absence of MAPP. Whereas in presence of 2% MAPP by addition glass fiber, no significant changes were observed in water absorption and thickness swelling of the composites after 2h and 24h. MAPP considerably decreased the water absorption and thickness swelling of the studied composites
