Novel cork-polymer composites reinforced with short natural coconut fibres : effect of fibre loading and coupling agent addition
Composites from high density polyethylene filled with cork powder and coconut short fibres, in two different ratios, were prepared in a twin-screw extruder followed by compression moulding process. The main motivation of this work was to improve the mechanical performance without compromising the us...
