Abstract
- Had been synthesized different composites from recycled polypropylene (rPP) using Pineapple leave Fiber (PaF), commercial Bentonite (comBen) and zinc borate (ZB). In the optimum formula with ratio rPP/PaF/comBen was 65/15/20 (w/w) and 5 % ZB of different composites are measured their flame retardancy, tensile strength (TS) and biodegradability. This new rPP/PaF/comBen/ZB composites materials have heat combustion (Hg), tensile strength (TS) and biodegradability better than the starting materials. The Hg of rPP/PaF/comBen/ZB decreased to 28%. The TS of rPP/PaF/comBen/ZB according to ASTM D 638 arised to 83%. The biodegradability of rPP/PaF/comBen/ZB in burial test arised to 15.7%.
