Mechanical properties of green recycled polypropylene composites: effect of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) coupling agent

Recycled polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose (rPP/MCC) composites were prepared by adding different loadings of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) coupling agent. The tensile, impact and morphological properties of the composites were investigated. The obtained results show that t...
