Properties of eco-friendly composite from recycled polypropylene

The recycled polypropylene (rPP)usually exhibits low mechanical property compared to virgin polypropylene. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) fiber may improve the mechanical property of rPP. The mechanical and water uptake properties of rPP composites filled with MCC was studied. Different compositi...
