Exploring a novel multifunctional agent to improve the dispersion of short aramid fiber in polymer matrix

Composites based on resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) coated aramid short fiber and a polyolefin based thermoplastic elastomer, namely ethylene octene copolymer (EOC) were prepared by melt mixing technique. The effects of both fiber loading and its length on the mechanical and thermal characterist...
