New polymeric-coupling agent for polypropylene/wood-flour composites
Abstract
The suitability of using polypropylene modified with an organosilane as a coupling agent for polypropylene/wood-flour composites was investigated. The tensile properties, the water-absorption behavior, the thermal degradation properties and the morphology of the composites were analyzed and compared with those of non-coupled composites and of composites coupled with polypropylene modified with maleic anhydride. The coupling agents were prepared in the laboratory and it was verified that the silane showed higher reactivity towards PP chains. The results indicated that the silane-modified polymer increased the interfacial adhesion between the fibers and the polymer matrix and this effect was better than that obtained for the maleated-polypropylene-coupled composites.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
