Abstract:In this study, attempts
were made for the first time to explore
the unexploited wheat straw particulates (WSP) as a reinforcement
filler with concentrations up to 100% in a thermoplastic polypropylene
(PP) matrix to produce a new type of wood plastic composites. The
WSP-PP composites were developed by melt blending using the injection
molding technique and were investigated for their mechanical, structural,
and thermal properties. The present study showed low-density composites
with densities varying from 0.84… Show more
