Abstract

In this study, The effect of alternative humidity stages on Physical and mechanical properties of Rice stem flour (RSF)-Polypropylene Composites was considered. Panels composites were built in 1g/cm3 nominal density and 25×15×1cm dimension that including, treatment of PP and RSF with 45, 60 and 75% weight ratios. Physical and mechanical properties of composites were measured and data were compared with randomized design. The Results showed that increasing of filler ratio, and passing of humidity stages result in decrease of Physical and Mechanical properties of composites. Adding 2 percent MAPP result in partial improve in Mechanical properties and decrease in water absorption and thickness swelling of composites.
