## Abstract Sisal fibers were used for the reinforcement of a polypropylene (pp) matrix. Composites consisting of polypropylene reinforced with short sisal fibers were prepared by meltβmixing and solutionβmixing methods. A large amount of fiber breakage was observed during melt mixing. The fiber br
## Abstract This article concerns the effectiveness of MAPP as a coupling agent in sisalβpolypropylene composites. The fiber loading, MAPP concentration, and fiber treatment time influenced the mechanical properties of the composites. It was observed that the composites prepared at 21 volume percen
The partial impregnation textile preform consisting of chopped-strand, long glass fiber and nonwoven polypropylene (PP) has been prepared by needle-punching to improve fiber-matrix distribution before processing. These unconsolidated textile preforms were then preheated and hot-pressed for consolida
