The degree of mechanical reinforcement that could be obtained by the introduction of henequen cellulosic fibers in a low-density polyethylene, LDPE, matrix was assessed experimentally. Composite materials of LDPE-henequen cellulosic fibers were prepared by mechanical mixing. The concentration of ran

Polypropylene/wood fiber composites were prepared at three different temperatures: 170ΠC, 180ΠC, and 190ΠC. 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
The use of plant fibers as a reinforcement in polyester matrices requires the issue of compatibility between the two phases to be addressed. Because plant fibers present hydrophilic surfaces and polyesters are generally hydrophobic, poor fibermatrix dispersion and wetting of the fibers by the matrix
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 f
