Abstract: The virginica stem bark fiber was treated by KMnO4 and silane coupling agent KH-570. Then, the polypropylene composites reinforced by untreated and treated virginica stem bark fiber with the content of 30% were prepared. The surface treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the virginica stem bark fiber, and the insulation property and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced polypropylene composite were discussed. The results showed that the microstructure of the fiber was changed after surface treatment, and the mechanical property and acoustic property of the composites were enhanced. The mechanical property and acoustic property of the fiber composite which was treated by the silane coupling agent KH-570 was better than that treated by the KMnO4.

Key words: virginica stem bark fiber, polypropylene, surface treatment, composite, mechanical property, acoustic property
