Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polypropylene (MAPP) treated and untreated composites were prepared in formulation of 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, and 40 wt%. The mechanical tensile test indicates that composite with 10 wt% has the optimum value of tensile strength, and the MAPP treated composite shows the tensile strength was increased. The modulus of elasticity was increased while the elongation at break was decreased by increasing of filler loading. Meanwhile, the swelling test discerned that the increase of filler loading increased the water absorption of composites and the presence of MAPP reduced the equilibrium water absorption percentage. 2014-06-17T07:09:50Z 2014-06-17T07:09:50Z 2013-03 Article Advanced Materials Research, vol. 795, 2013, pages 313-317 1022-6680 (Print) 1662-8985 (Online) http://www.scientific.net/AMR.795.313 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35600 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.795.313 en Trans Tech Publications
