Characterization of composite materials based on PP-Cork blends

This article studies the possibility of making a cork fiber to reinforce plastics (polypropylene, PP). The thermal and structural properties of natural fibers are determined. The hydrophilic character of cork and the hydrophobic character of PP eliminate all chemical adhesion between the fiber and t...
