Abstract
Biocomposites of waste polypropylene (wPP) with 20 phr (part per 100 parts of [wPP]) corn husk fibers (CHF) as bio-filler were prepared for environmental aspect. Maleic anhydride (MAH) was used, with 5, 10 phr concentration as compatabilizer was carried out. The obtained biocomposites were irradiated by γ radiation ranging from 5 to 25 kGy. Mechanical, physical and thermal properties of the biocomposites were studied to evaluate the effect of CHF addition on the properties of obtained composites. It has been found that there is deterioration in all properties. However, by the addition of MAH, the former properties were improved. The obtained results were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
