The partial impregnation textile preform consisting of chopped-strand, long glass fiber and nonwoven polypropylene (PP) has been prepared by needle-punching to improve fiber-matrix distribution before processing. These unconsolidated textile preforms were then preheated and hot-pressed for consolida

The thermal behavior and dynamic mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene (PP) and reactor blend PP/ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPM), reinforced with different amounts of short glass fibers (GF) and/or polyester fibers (PETF), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) an
## Abstract The present study deals with the effects of natural fibers on thermal and mechanical properties of natural fiber polypropylene composites using dynamic mechanical analysis. Composites of polypropylene and various natural fibers including kenaf fibers, wood flour, rice hulls, and newspri
