Abstract

Rice husk polypropylene composites were prepared by the process of extrusion and compression molding using maleic anhydride polypropylene as compatibilizer. Change in appearance of rice husk polypropylene composites was noticed when dipped in H2O, NaOH, NH3, HCl. Significant swelling was observed in rice husk polypropylene samples when dipped in NaOH whereas rice husk polypropylene samples showed surface roughness when dipped in HCl. Tensile strength of rice husk polypropylene composites decreased after dipping in all chemicals except in NH3, samples dipped in ammonia have better tensile strength, showing the suitability in ammonia environment.
