Short jute fiber reinforced polypropylene composites: effect of compatibiliser, impact modifier and fiber loading

The Effects of D’Nealian® Worksheets, Tracing, and Visual Prompts to Teach Four Preschool Students with Disabilities to Write Their Names

“…Composites made with cellulose fibers will therefore, help to reduce the impact of non-biodegradable materials including synthetic polymers on our solid waste stream. This is in line with global environmental concerns which have suggested a need for materials that are biodegradable because of the decreasing availability of landfill space, as well as increasing cost of municipal solid waste disposal (Rana et al, 2003;Joshi et al, 2004). …”

Treated Tropical Wood Sawdust-Polypropylene Polymer Composite: Mechanical and Morphological Study

“…Because of the high availability and low cost of the sawdust, it can be more useful and valuable by mixing sawdust with polymer in order to improve the mechanical properties of the composites. In the related literature, it has been reported that most polymer composites involved fiber reinforcement, for instance from jute fibers, bamboo fibers, oil palm empty fruits, corn fibers and many more [2][3][4][5]. The main application area of sawdust filled composites is the building and automotive industry [1,6], but they are also applied for packaging, for the preparation of various household articles, furniture, office appliances and other items [7].…”

Investigation of rheological and mechanical properties of wood flour reinforced polypropylene

“…It was also found that both the impact and tensile properties showed increasing trends with the addition of compatibilizers. However, the opposite was true for the flexural properties [29]. Improvements of physico-mechanical properties achieved by post-treatment, and the interfacial and durability evaluation of polypropylene composites were studied [30][31][32].…”
