Rice husk filled thermoplastic composite / Ariff Mohamed

A study was conducted on rice husk obtained from Bernas Kuala Selangor, to determine its suitability for thermoplastic manufactured and to determine its physical and mechanical properties. The rice husk and Polypropylene (PP) were blended in a Dispersion Mixer and then moulded into a composite in a...

The rice husk and Polypropylene (PP) were blended in a Dispersion Mixer and then moulded into a composite in a mould, with the rice husk weight fractions varying from 10 to 50%.

Form the result; rice husk loading affected the physical and mechanical properties of the composite. Higher amount of rice husk decreased the strength and elongation, while the modulus of elasticity and water absorption properties increased significantly. Present of MAPP increased the strength, modulus of elasticity and elongation but decreased the water absorption significantly. There was little difference in the properties observed between composite with 1% and 3% MAPP (by weight).
