Abstract:Sustainable composites based on blends from polypropylene (PP) and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) and wood flour (WF) were prepared under industry‐relevant conditions by melt extrusion, followed by continuous drawing through spinnerets. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐MA) was employed to improve the compatibility between matrix and WF. The effects of incorporation of WF and RPET microstructure on the morphological features, rheological measurements, and mechanical properties were inves… Show more
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.
