A Preliminary Study on the Dynamic-Mechanical Behaviour of Compression Moulded Polypropylene/Carbon Fiber Composites Interfacially Modified by a Succinic Anhydride Grafted Atactic Polypropylene from Polymer Wastes.

摘要

Present communication is devoted to the study of the effect of a novel interfacial agent in polypropylene/carbon fibre composites. The interfacial agent used is a succinic anhydride grafted atactic polypropylene containing both succinic bridges and side grafts (aPP-SASA) and with 5.6% (5.6.10~(-4)g/mol) of grafting content obtained at the GIP labs. The study considers the study dynamic-mechanical behaviour with temperature at a frequency of 1 hz to ascertain the differences in the interfacial activity. The samples were compression molded in order to isolate as far as possible the effect of the solely aPP-SASA in absence of those synergetic effects due to the preferential orientation of the fibres.
