Effects of irradiated recycled polypropylene compatibilizer on the mechanical properties of microcrystalline cellulose reinforced recycled polypropylene composites

In this study, the potential of irradiated recycled polypropylene (i-rPP), as compatibilizer for rPP reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composites, is evaluated. RPP/MCC composites, with various MCC loadings (5, 20 and 40 wt%) are compounded with melt extrusion, followed by injection...

RPP/MCC composites, with various MCC loadings (5, 20 and 40 wt%) are compounded with melt extrusion, followed by injection moulding. Before compounding, the rPP is exposed to an electron beam irradiation at different doses (10, 20, 30 and 50kGy) and then unirradiated rPP is added at a ratio of 90:10.
