TL;DR: In this paper, a sisal/glass reinforced polypropylene (PP) hybrid composites with short sisal and glass fibers were prepared using twin-screw extruder, followed by injection molding in the presence and absence of maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) as a coupling agent.
Abstract: Hybrid composites of polypropylene (PP) reinforced with short sisal and glass fibers were prepared using twin-screw extruder, followed by injection molding in the presence and absence of maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) as a coupling agent. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength increased by an optimum value at 15% sisal and 15% glass fiber loading in the presence of 2% MAPP. The rate of water absorption in the composites decreased due to the presence of glass fiber and coupling agent. The storage modulus of sisal/glass reinforced PP hybrid composites (SGRP) showed maximum improvement after treatment with MAPP. The fiber matrix morphology of the interface region in the composites was examined using scanning electron microscopy. The differential scanning calorimetry thermogram confirms higher thermal stability in the case of hybrid composites.

TL;DR: In this article, surface microfibrillation of sisal fiber to a DM value of 24 °SR increased the tensile strength, internal bonding strength and wear resistance values of composites by 93%, 124% and 31%, respectively.
Abstract: Surface microfibrillation of cellulose fibre was adopted as a facile method for improving cellulose fibre/phenolic resin interfacial adhesion in hybrid composites composed of sisal fibre and aramid fibre. Development of microfibrils and aggregates on the fibre surface significantly increased the interfacial adhesion between the sisal fibre and resin by providing a large contact area and by inhibiting the formation of spontaneous cracks in the composites. Consequently, the compression, tensile and internal bonding strengths, and wear resistance of the hybrid composites were remarkably improved. Surface microfibrillation of sisal fibre to a DM value of 24 °SR increased the tensile strength, internal bonding strength and wear resistance values of composites by 93%, 124% and 31%, respectively.
