## Abstract Kudzu fiberβreinforced polypropylene composites were prepared, and their mechanical and thermal properties were determined. To enhance the adhesion between the kudzu fiber and the polypropylene matrix, maleic anhydrideβgrafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used as a compatibilizer. A continu

Short jute fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared using a high-speed thermokinetic mixer. A compatibilizer was used to improve the molecular interaction between jute and PP. Both the percent weight fraction of the jute fiber and compatibilizer were varied to study the dynamic m
The thermal behavior and dynamic mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene (PP) and reactor blend PP/ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPM), reinforced with different amounts of short glass fibers (GF) and/or polyester fibers (PETF), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) an
