## Abstract Rubber wood fiber/reinforced thermoplastic natural rubber (RWF/TPNR) composites were prepared. A blend of natural rubber with high‐density polyethylene was prepared by melt blending the materials in the internal mixer of Brabender Plasticorder machine. RWF and TPNR were mixed with diffe
## Abstract **Summary:** Increasing environmental concern encourages the development of new ways to recycle medical products. Post‐consumer medical products are suited for recycling because of their life‐span, but used products have to be disinfected before recycling. Therefore, the influence of di
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
