Natural fibres as reinforcement strategy on cork-polymer composites

Cork powder, the most important sub-product of cork processing, combined with thermoplastic matrixes like, high density polyethylene (HDPE), offer a new class of cork-polymer composite (CPC) materials with high added-value. Therefore, reinforcing strategies must be considered to increase the mechani...
