The effect of different amounts of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) coupling agent (2, 3 and 5 wt%) on mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose (rPP/MCC) composites was determined. 4 wt% of MCC was compounded with rPP via melt mixing method followed by injection molding. The mechanical properties of th

The effects of different coupling agents, silane aminopropyltriethoxysilane and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP), on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites were determined and compared. The composites with low filler loadings, up to 12 wt.%, were prepared via melt-mixing in a twin sc
