Tensile and impact properties of polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose treated with different coupling agents

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