Description

To improve mechanical and thermal properties of jute fibers (JFs) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites, a surface treatment method by grafting graphene oxide nanoplatelets (GONPs) onto JFs was developed. The GONPs effectively enhanced the interfacial adhesion between JFs and PP matrix via improving mechanical interlocking. The results show that PP/JFs-KH570-GONPs composites had the significant improvement of 16.2 % and 12.4 % in tensile and flexural strength, respectively. And the thermal property of PP/JFs-Silane-GONPs composites was also improved after treatment. These high performance composites have the potential to be applied in many fields, such as the automotive industry, household products and so on.
