WOOD-POLYMER COMPOSITES UTILIZING DEGRADED POLYOLEFINS AS COMPATIBILIZERS

The effect of degraded LDPE (dLDPE) as compatibilizer on the morphology, as well as thermal, mechanical, and thermo-mechanical properties, of LDPE/wood flour (WF) composites was investigated in this study. The composites were prepared through melt mixing in a Brabender Plastograph internal mixer, wh...
