This article concerns the effectiveness of MAH-PP copolymers (graft copolymer of PP and maleic anhydride) as coupling agents in jute-polypropylene composites. The fiber treatment time and the MAH-PP concentration influenced the mechanical properties of the composites. Flexural strength of the composites with MAH-PP treated fibers was higher than that of unmodified fibers, and increased with fiber loading. The cyclic-dynamic values at an increasing load indicated that the coupling agent reduces the progress of damage. Dynamic strength (dynamic failure stress at load increasing test) of the MAH-PP modified composites is therefore raised by about 40%. SEM investigations confirm that the increase in properties is caused by improved fiber-matrix adhesion. There was less inclination for fibers to pull out of the matrix.
