Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fibre and Kaolin Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate potential methodologies for improving the performance of polypropylene (PP) matrix composites<br/>by the addition of carbon fibre and kaolin fillers, processed using a twin screw extruder, and compare them with neat PP. The effect of<br/>filler types and loading was investigated on mechanical properties such as the tensile modulus, flexural modulus, and impact strength,<br/>evaluated by using universal testing systems. Of the two types of composites, carbon fibre reinforced composites gave the best<br/>performance. The results showed that the addition of 30 wt% of short carbon fibre to neat PP raised the tensile modulus and flexural<br/>modulus by 219% and 280%, respectively, compared to neat PP itself. Also, the elongation at break was reduced by 87-96% compared<br/>to neat PP, which is attributed to such fillers restricting the chain mobility of polymer molecules. Addition of kaolin has also resulted in<br/>improved tensile and flexural modulus up to 42% and 41%, respectively, from that of the neat PP. Izod impact test showed that the<br/>addition of kaolin also improves impact strength by up to 10% at low content of kaolin. However, the impact strength was reduced with<br/>increasing kaolin content above 20% by weight, due to the agglomeration of kaolin particles. For PP/carbon fibre composites, the impact<br/>strength slightly increased when increasing the carbon fibre content from 10 wt% to 20 wt%, whereas it slightly dropped when increasing<br/>to 30 wt%. Based on these results, overall, the addition of carbon fibre and kaolin from 10-30 wt% significantly improves the tensile and<br/>flexural modulus properties. These fillers can be considered as promising reinforcing materials to increase the performance of<br/>thermoplastics. These type of composite systems may encourage commodity thermoplastics to be applied for high-end applications at a<br/>significant rate in the near future.
