Residual softwood sawdust was pretreated by a steam‐explosion technique. It was used as
a natural filler in polypropylene (PP)‐based composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis and …

Broom fibers have been used as reinforcement for the conventional polypropylene (iPP) and
a maleate modified one (iPPMA). A conventional alkaline treatment and a steam explosion …

Abstract The instrumented Izod and Charpy tests were performed on the sawdust–
polypropylene (PP) composites to study the nature of impact resistance in the thermoplastic …

Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/elastomer/wood flour composites were prepared from two PP
reactor blends. The detailed analysis of the deformation and failure of the composites has …

Composites of wheat straw fibers with polypropylene (iPP) and maleic anhydride modified
polypropylene (iPPMA) were prepared. Before being mixed with polypropylene matrices, the …

The mechanical properties and morphology of polypropylene/wood flour (PP/WF)
composites with different impact modifiers and maleated polypropylene (MAPP) as a …

The effect of surface treatment of saw dust on the physico‐mechanical properties of saw dust‐
filled polypropylene composites was studied. Whereas the elastomer‐pretreated saw dust …

The impact resistance of polypropylene (PP)/wood composites was improved either by the
traditional approach of adding an elastomer or by the use of poly (ethylene …

Fibers obtained from fallen leaves of the almond tree (Terminalia catappa L.) were
incorporated into sustainable composites with recycled polypropylene (PPr) as a matrix. The …

The effect of grafting level of maleic anhydride (MA) in the maleated polypropylene (PPMA)
on the fracture, deformation mechanisms, and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) …
