The aim of this research was to study the feasibility of using bagasse flour for producing natural fiber-plastic composites based on polypropylene. For this purpose, the bagasse flour was mixed with 25, 35, and 45 wt.% of polypropylene. An MAPP coupling agent was also used. The tensile strength and impact resistance tests were conducted according to the ASTM standard. It was found that the tensile properties improved, but the impact strength decreased with increase in the bagasse fiber loading from 25 to 45%. The composites treated with MAPP exhibited enhanced mechanical properties, which pointed to an efficient fiber-matrix adhesion.
