Abstract:This paper presents a study about polypropylene-pine wood composites, both as filaments and products, coated with aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu), obtained through flame thermal spray process after subjecting the composites to thermal treatments in the second and third step of the study. Results revealed that a previous aluminum layer was needed in order to obtain copper coatings on the composites. The physical and mechanical properties of both metal coated composite filaments were also evaluated and compared wit… Show more
