摘要: The mechanical performance of composites made from isotactic polypropylene reinforced with natural fibres depends on the interface between fibre and matrix, as well matrix crystallinity. Sizing surface nucleating agents to promote transcrystallinity is a potential route improve properties. sizing thermo-mechanical pulp regenerated cellulose (Tencel™) α- β-nucleating agents, tensile strength impact respectively, was assessed in this study. Polarised microscopy, electron microscopy differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that achieved bulk crystallinity affected during processing (compounding injection moulding). However, despite substantial changes crystal structure final composite, method used did not lead significant regarding overall composite performance.
