Improvement on the mechanical properties of cork composites using suberin as coupling agent through a reactive extrusion process

New functionalized composite structures were prepared using low-density polyethylene (LDPE), cork powder and different suberins extracted from cork and birch outer bark as coupling agents to promote interfacial adhesion. The compounding was performed under reactive extrusion and samples processed by...
