2. 1. Natural fibres/polypropylene composites from residual and recycled materials

   Author : Ana Espert; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Natural fibres fulfil all the requirements in order toreplace inorganic fillers in thermoplastic composites. Naturalfibres are inexpensive, renewable, biodegradable, present lowerdensity and their mechanical properties can be compared tothose of inorganic fillers. However, several disadvantagesappear when natural fibres are used for composites. READ MORE
