In recent years, much effort has been driven to replace glass fibers, which were used to reinforce thermoplastic composites, with natural fibers. In this study, three natural fibers, namely cellulose (CE), sawdust (SD) and ...

Polymer/clay nanocomposites have been extensively studied in recent years because they often exhibit improved properties different from their micro and macrocomposite counterparts. Addition of organophilic layered silicates ...

In this project, preparation and characterization of polypropylene natural zeolite composites were studied. Three different series of preparation methods were performed, hot press, microscope slide, and extrusion. The ...
