AbstractBamboo fiber (BF)-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites (BPCs) have been investigated and it was shown by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) that BF is a nucleation agent and accelerates the crystallization rate of the PP matrix. Numerical analyses according to Avrami, Avrami-Ozawa, and Friedman described well the nucleation mechanism, the crystallization rate and the activation energy for the non-isothermal crystallization behavior of BPCs, respectively. The Avrami approach indicated that BF as a reinforcement significantly changed the crystal growth mechanism of PP matrix during the cooling process. Based on the Avrami-Ozawa method, a lower cooling rate can achieve a certain relative crystallinity degree within a time period. According to the Friedman method, the activation energies of BPCs were lower than that of neat PP below a relative crystallinity of 35%, when the BF content was more than 60%.
