- Summary:
- Polypropylene, a commodity plastic, is the semi-crystalline thermoplastics widely used in high volume for general purpose application. Polypropylene is the macro molecules of soft and weak backbone, which by reinforcement of fillers in different forms such as fiber, spheroids, nanotubes, flakes, et cetera, can influence its mechanical, thermal, electrical, creep resistance, and flame resistance properties for use in aerospace applications. Currently, polycarbonate and nylon plastics are used in aerospace applications, however, they are expensive compared with polypropylene. In this thesis, efforts are put to study the effect of reinforcement fillers in the properties of polypropylene composite, primarily the mechanical and flammability properties. The matrix element, polypropylene co polymer and reprocessed polypropylene blended in equal ratio, are coupled with the dispersing phases such as graphene, mica, fumed silica, and polydimethylsiloxane polymer. Effect of graphene as reinforcing filler at different weight % to polypropylene composite's properties are studied and compared with that of the neat polypropylene. Effect of coupling agent, Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), on mineral fillers and Polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) used for crosslinking with the polypropylene matrix is also studied and compared using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques
