摘要: Flax fibre was modified with acetylation. The influence of the acetylation on structure and properties flax were investigated as well reinforced polypropylene composites also prepared. catalyst used to accelerate reaction rate. characterised after modification.

Due acetylation, surface morphology moisture resistance improved remarkably. (modified unmodified) fabricated 30 wt% loading. mechanical for those composites. Tensile flexural strengths found increase increasing up 18% then decreased. Charpy impact decrease Owing addition coupling agent (maleated -MAH), tensile strength in between 20 35% depending
