Effect of Thermal and Chemical Treatment of Soy Flour on Soy-Polypropylene Composite Properties

Effect of Thermal and Chemical Treatment of Soy Flour on Soy-Polypropylene Composite Properties

Soy flour (SF), a by-product of the soybean oil extraction processing, was investigated for its application in soy-polypropylene composites for interior automotive applications. The emphasis of this work was the understanding of this new type of filler material and the contribution of its major cons...
