## Abstract Rubber wood fiber/reinforced thermoplastic natural rubber (RWF/TPNR) composites were prepared. A blend of natural rubber with highβdensity polyethylene was prepared by melt blending the materials in the internal mixer of Brabender Plasticorder machine. RWF and TPNR were mixed with diffe
In a previous work, a mechanical model was proposed to predict the reinforcement of amorphous polymers by particulates as well as by unidirectional fibers over wide ranges of volume fractions of fillers and temperatures (or frequencies). This model is based on both the definition of a representative
