Abstract

The objective of our research was to compare the effect of variations mass of foaming agents on the density of PP/wood composites. Composites of pp/wood is prepared with internal mixer with addition different value of sodium bicarbonate for each sample. After the sample grounded, several tests are undergone for example, surface imaging by using optical microscope and tensile. The mechanical properties of the composites decreased with addition of chemical foaming agents, NaHCO3. The results also revealed that the content of chemical foaming agents, NaHC03 are strong function to the properties of WPC composites, as well as the foaming conditions.
