h i g h l i g h t s Polymeric composite was developed using household and industrial residues. Effect of waste of mate-tea as filler was physically, chemically and mechanically evaluated. Thermal stability of PP decreased with addition of mate-tea waste and eucalypt particles. Use of eucalypt particles increased mechanical properties more than use of mate-tea waste. Insertion of eucalypt particles increased the hydrophobicity of the composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
