Composites based on polypropylene (PP) and sisal fiber (SF) were prepared by melt blending. Sisal fiber content was 30 phr. Organoclay (OMMT; Cloisite®30B) (1-7 phr) was incorporated into the composites. In addition, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used as a compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial adhesion between PP matrix and sisal fiber and also to improve the dispersion of the organoclay in PP matrix. The addition of OMMT had insignificantly affected mechanical properties of SF/PP composites. However, flame retardancy and thermal stability of SF/PP composites were improved dramatically with the presence of OMMT.
