Water hyacinth fibers (WHF) was used as reinforced fiber in the composites incorporated into the LDPE/NR matrices with different fiber loading. LDPE/NR/WHF composites were prepared with Z-blade mixer at 180°C with rotor speed of 50 rpm for 10 minutes. The presence of PE-g-MAH increased the tensile strength and Young’s modulus while reduced the elongation at break of LDPE/NR/WHF composites. The molar sorption of the composites decreased as the fiber loading increased. SEM morphology showed a better fiber dispersion and fiber distribution indicated PE-g-MAH improved the interfaces between water hyacinth fiber and LDPE/NR matrices. The absorption peak at 1741.52cm-1 indicated ester carbonyl group in LDPE/NR/WHFPE-g-MAH composites. 2014-06-02T06:31:00Z 2014-06-02T06:31:00Z 2013 Article Applied Mechanics and Materials, vol.284 – 287, 2013, pages 87-93 1662-7482 http://www.scientific.net/AMM.284-287.87 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34956 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.284-287.87 en Trans Tech Publications
