Abstract
Banana fibre (BF) reinforced chemically functionalised high density polypropylene (CFPP) composites (BF/CFPP) developed by Palsule process of using modified matrix, immersed in distilled water at room temperature for long duration, showed water absorption higher than that of the CFPP that increased with increasing fibre content in the composite compositions. Tensile modulus and tensile strength of the wet composite compositions was lower than that of the dry BF/CFPP composite compositions. Voids, capillary water transport and hydrogen bonds promote water absorption in BF/CFPP composites. 19 Refs.
