The effects of extractives and compatibilizers on the flexural properties of natural fiber-thermoplastic composites

Creator:

Saputra, Hartono A.

Abstract:

Natural fibers such as wood, flax, and hemp are frequently used as fillers in natural fiber-plastic composites (NFPCs). At present, wood fiber is the most commonly used filler in the production of wood-plastic composites (WPCs). The advantages of these fibers compared to conventional inorganic fibers such as glass fiber is...
