چکیده

In this article, for the first time, a new natural bast fiber known as latania natural fiber is introduced and employed to reinforce polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (EPDM) (PP/EPDM composite) and the standard fabricated specimens are tested under tensile loads. Different fiber weight fractions of 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30% are investigated. Mechanical tensile and morphological properties of PP/EDPM composites with and without latania natural fibers are studied. Inspired by a recent published research work [1] in which jute natural fiber was used to reinforce PP/EPDM composites to be examined under tensile loads, fabrication procedure and testing conditions are intentionally the same as that mentioned in [1]. This provides a good opportunity to compare two different natural fiber reinforcements: jute and latania. The results showed higher mechanical performance of PP/EPDM/Latania than PP/EPDM/Jute composites under tensile condition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs were used to gain more understanding of the nature of fracture.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
