0.5 wt.% of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) was introduced into polymer electrolytes based on 30% poly(methyl-methacrylate) grafted natural rubber (MG30) in order to reduce the aging factor of MG30. The polymer electrolyte without 6PPD was used as control. All samples were prepared by using solution cast techniques. The effect of 6PPD in the electrolytes was analysed by using TGA, DSC and FTIR. TGA and DSC results revealed the thermal stability of MG30 electrolytes with 6PPD have higher thermal stability but lower glass transition temperature value. FTIR studies confirmed the existence of LiTF in the sample and prove the occurrence of polymer-salt complexation. Deconvolution techniques analysis on FTIR spectra shows the electrolyte sample with 6PPD display more ion dissociation which reflects to higher ionic conductivity.

Hybrid composites were prepared by incorporating oil palm fruit bunch (OPFB) fibre in the mixture of clay and polypropylene as secondary filler. OPFB and MAPP loadings were varied to investigate it effects on the performance. Tensile and impact tests were performed on the hybrid composites to evaluate their mechanical performances. Water absorption and thermal degradation tests were also conducted on the hybrid composites. Results indicated that the incorporation of OPFB in PP/PPnanoclay has decreased the thermal stability of hybrid composites. Tensile modulus of hybrid composites increased as the OPFB loading increases and further increased with the increasing of MAPP loading. Generally the tensile strength has decreased with the addition of OPFB, however slight increased was observed when the MAPP loading was increased. The impact strength has also increased with the increasing of OPFB for higher MAPP loading.
