✦ Synopsis

Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was reinforced with wood fiber, glass fiber, and mica. The effect of aging on mechanical properties of the composites was examined under different conditions: (i) exposure at 105OC for 7 days; (ii) immersion in boiling water for 4 h. Samples containing glass fibers showed by far the best results with regard to tensile strength, elongation, and fracture energy. LLDPE filled with mica produced poor results compared to wood fiber composites. Dimensional stability of LLDPE-wood fiber composites, after boiling water treatment, was inferior to mica and glass fiber composites.

The effect of fiber surface pretreatment on the interfacial strength and mechanical properties of wood fiber/polypropylene (WF/PP) composites are investigated. The results demonstrate that fiber surface conditions significantly influence the fiber-matrix interfacial bond, which, in turn, determines

Polypropylene/wood fiber composites were prepared at three different temperatures: 170ЊC, 180ЊC, and 190ЊC. The surface of wood fibers was modified through the use of silane coupling agents and/or coating with polypropylene or maleated polypropylene. The fiber coating was performed by propylene poly
