- Abstract
- Polypropylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) is known as an excellent interface modifier that can improve the interface between carbon fiber (CF) and PP. In this study, the effect of PP-g-MAH content on the physical properties of PP composites containing long-fiber CFs was investigated. It was confirmed that PP-g-MAH acted as an interface modifier between the interface between CF and PP, and when an appropriate amount of 10 wt% was incorporated, the tensile strength, tensile modulus, Izod impact strength, and heat deflection temperature were improved by 110%, 50%, 86.7% and 12.7%, respectively. On the other hand, the blending effect of PP-g-MAH, which is a low molecular weight, was greater than the compatibilizing effect when the PP-g-MAH content was mixed above the appropriate content, thereby reducing the physical properties. Therefore, the content of PP-g-MAH as the interface modifier must be designed to be the optimum content considering the CF content to be mixed in order to optimize the physical properties of the composite material. ? 2020 The Korean Society for Composite Materials and IOP Publishing Limited
