Abstrakt: The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of gelatin coating on the mechanical property of the polypropylene (PP) composites by the addition of Multi-walled nanotube (MWNT) and gelatin coated carbon fibers. The morphology of surface of carbon fiber filament on the fracture surface was examined by field-emission scanning electronic microscopy (FE-SEM). The Iosipescu shear test was done to determine the ultimate shear strength of the PP reinforced with MWNT/gelatin composite layer coated carbon fibers. The gelatin coated carbon fibers resulted in an increase in the ultimate shear strength compared to plain carbon fibers. In addition, the ultimate shear strength was improved through the addition of MWNTs with the gelatin. Also, with gelatin acting as a binder, flying CNT particles could be minimized.
