The adjective 'improper' does have a prefix, which is the 'im-' part of the word. The word 'improper' consists of:
the adjective 'proper', meaning appropriate, right, suitable, and so on,
plus
the prefix 'im-', which is a variant of the prefix 'im-' and means not.
So the whole word means not appropriate (or inappropriate); not right; not suitable (or unsuitable)
The prefix 'im-' also means 'in', as in inside; for example: implant (fix in), impoverish (to make poor).
The prefix 'un-', as in 'unsuitable', means the same in this sense ('improper') as 'im-', 'in-' or, for that matter, 'non-', as in 'nonconforming'.
