As one of the main plastic resin types, polycarbonate-based plastics play an important role
in manufacturing and wide applications. However, with increasing awareness of …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a lightweight, bioinert, high-performance thermoplastic that
is beginning to see clinical use in orthopedic applications. PEEK outperforms conventional …

In this study, polypropylene (PP) was reprocessed at various cycles to simulate recycling to
be used as a matrix for highly loaded wood plastic composites (WPC). The neat and …

Natural-fiber-reinforced composites offer various advantages over synthetic composites,
including low density, useful mechanical properties and environmental friendliness. In spite …

The influences of plastic matrix on mechanical properties (flexural and tensile properties) of
wood-plastic composites (WPCs) were investigated. WPCs were prepared with five types of …

Abstract The Babool, Sheesham, Mango, and Mahogany trees are commonly found in India.
The wood-plastic composites (WPCs) were prepared by injection molding using wood dust …

Polymer gears manufactured with injection molding have been widely used in many
industries, but the unavoidable injection molding lunker defects limit the loading capacity …

The objective of this study was to compare two types of natural short fibers, one lignin-rich
and one lignin-poor, as reinforcing filler of bio-composite plastic in accelerated aging …

A new natural fiber composite made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and 40% wt of
short birch fibers (SBF) was developed to replace polyamide (better known under its …

Designing bio-composites for structural applications requires a thorough understanding of
their mechanical behavior. In this study, we examined the differences in the tensile strength …
