Nanocomposites are the materials that are created by introducing nanoparticulates that always referred to as filler into the matrix. Blends of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM)/Montmorillonite (MMT) were treated by compatibilizer MAPP and irradiation of electron beam. The effects on mechanical properties for both samples wer

This paper focuses on the fabrication of polylactic acid (PLA)–kenaf fibre (KF) biocomposite using intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder and then injection moulded for tensile properties characterization. The effect of kenaf fibre loading from 0-20 wt% was studied. The average of kenaf fibre aspect ratio is 30. Tensile strength and modulus

Hybrid bionanocomposite based on polylactic acid (PLA), kenaf fibre (KF) and organo montmorillonite (OMMT) was developed for food packaging application. Kenaf a tropical crop of Malaysia offered low cost and density, renewable and less abrasion to the processing equipment. In this project, PLA-KF-OMMT was extruded using twin screw extruder and then

This paper reported the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between kenaf fibre (KF) and polylactic acid (PLA) matrix which was measured using microbond tests device. The value of IFSS obtained in PLA-KF is comparable to other polymer with natural fibre reinforcements. The properties of single kenaf fibre was determined from tensile tests and also de

In this project, the aim is to produce polylactic acid from kenaf fibre biomass through fermentation. Kenaf fibre is found to be naturally resistant to breakdown due to its structural sugars since it is a lignocellulosic material. Hence, it is difficult for microorganisms to use it directly as fermentation carbon source. Kenaf was underwent several

Polyolefins, such as polypropylene and polyethylene find extensive use in packaging. Improvements in poor barrier properties of polyolefins will be beneficial for the current applications and should also lead to applications in pharmaceuticals, electronic packaging and particularly packaging of food products, which are sensitive to oxygen.

تناول هذا البحث بالدراسة واحدة من أهم معضلات العالم الإسلامي وهي الاعتداء على رموزه من خلال سب نبيها محمد والاستهزاء به، فكان من الواجب أن يكون هناك بحث موضوعي يرد ويسدد ويوجه مسار مواجهة هذه �

The Traditional Islamic Educational Institution (hereinafter referred to as “Pondok”) has been established as part of formal traditional religious educational system in Malaysia. There are many literatures on Pondok (among others by Ismail Ishak, 1990, Azmi Omar, 1993 and Hasan Md Man, 1990) which focussed on syllabus that are taught in Pondok

The first contacts of Albanians to Islam are proven to be relatively early in the medieval centuries. Due to geographical situation, Albania was densely frequented by Turkish and Arab missionaries; no matter it was a commercial, religious or military purpose. The Islamization of Albanian Community went all the way through progressive growth as it i
