The different coupling agent is used for diatomite modification. The diatomite with different content are melt and mixed with polypropylene to prepare diatomite/polypropylene composites. The modification effects of different coupling agent on diatomite and the influence of agent and diatomite contents on crystallization behavior of polypropylene and mechanical properties of composites are investigated. The results show that different coupling agents have the modification effects on diatomite influence crystallization of polypropylene but the aluminum agent is better than other agents. With the increase of the content of aluminum acid ester coupling agent, the size of bubble pore is uniform, and then the compressive strength reaches to a maximum when aluminum acid ester coupling agent content is 1%. With the increase of the content of diatomite, the porosity of bubble pore of diatomite/polypropylene composite material is gradually increases. The crystallinity of polypropylene and yield strength reach to a maximum (48.15% and 21.5%) when diatomite content is 30%. In addition, the diatomite/polypropylene composites have better compressive strength than the others.

Conventional inorganic fillers are widely used as fillers for polymer-based composites. Though, their processing difficulties and cost have demanded the quest for credible alternatives of organic origin like coconut shell fillers. Dried shells of coconut were burnt, ground, and sifted to sizes of 63, 150, 300, and 425 µm. The ground coconut shell particles (CSP) were used as a filler to prepare polypropylene (PP) composites at filler contents of 0% to 40% via injection melt blending process to produce PP composite sheets. The effect of the filler particle size on the mechanical properties was investigated. The decrease in the size of filler (CSP) was found to improve the yield strength, tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and hardness of PP by 8.5 MPa, 15.75 MPa, 1.72 GPa, 7.5 MPa, 100 MPa, and 10.5 HR for 63 µm at 40%, respectively. However, the elongation at break and modulus of resilience of the PP composites were seen to increase with increase in the filler size. Scanning electron microscope analysis showed that fillers with 63 µm particle size had the best distribution and interaction with the PP matrix resulting in enhanced properties.

The present study aims to improve the reinforcement of hemp fibre to polypropylene (PP) by simple resin modification and fibre treatment. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used as resin modifier by direct mixing with PP, and hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HMHEC) was used as fibre treatment reagent by immersing fibre into its aqueous solution. The influences of fibre content, resin modification, and fibre treatment on the mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, and impact strengths) of composites were investigated. The change of interfacial bonding between fibre and resin in composites caused by MAPP and HMHEC was studied by scanning electron microscopy and dynamic mechanical analysis. Resin modification and fibre treatment were effective to enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. The improvement in interfacial bonding is quantitatively evaluated with adhesion factor.
