摘要

The polymer composite made with fiber exploited unique properties and was applied for lightweight automotive applications. However, natural fiber-made composites have variations in tensile/flexural strength behaviour due to a lack of adhesive quality. The research aims to develop the polypropylene hybrid nanocomposite with the adaptations of sodium hydroxide treated canamo of manila fiber (CMF) as 0, 5, 10, and 15 weight percentage (wt%) and embedded with 5 wt% silica nanoparticle via hot compression mould. The study thoroughly investigates how CMF/silica nanoparticles impact the microstructure, mechanical, and thermal properties of polypropylene composites, adhering to ASTM standards. Through scanning electron microscope analysis, the uniform dispersion of silica nanoparticles in the polypropylene matrix is confirmed, indicating significant potential. With a higher CMF content (15 wt%), the composite showed impressive results, including increased tensile stress of 36.1±0.36 MPa at 78±1 % elongation, superior flexural strength of 76±0.7 MPa, effective interracial strength of 9.8±0.1 MPa, and excellent thermal stability.
